• Product description

  Michele’s snow-white cardigan is the type of sweater we love to wrap up in all year round. The garment features an allover cable and lace motif trimmed with deep ribbed hems. The double-breasted shawl collar, rolled sleeve cuffs, lined pockets, and modified drop-shoulder construction create a cozy fit with classic appeal. The sweater’s ribbing is worked at a firmer gauge to give the garment structure, while the textured body fabric is worked on a larger needle to give the fabric necessary movement and drape.

  Designer: Michele Wang

  Collection: Spring Thaw

  CONSTRUCTION

  • All pieces are knit flat from the bottom up, and then seamed together.
  • Each Front is knit in one piece to the end of the hem ribbing, then is divided into two sections: the Front Panel Section, and the Placket/Collar Section. This is because the two sections are worked on different-sized needles.
  • The shawl Collar is shaped with short rows, grafted together at the Back Neck, and the edge of the Collar is then sewn to the Back Neck edge.
