Wrap Cardi

  The yarn is produced in Norway

The Wrap Cardi is a simple cardigan knitted top-down. The back is shaped first with German short rows, then each shoulder is knitted separately before you join the back and front pieces and knit the rest of the body back and forth. The jacket has knitted-in sleeves. Finally, a long tie strap is knitted using a double knitting technique, which is knitted into the cardigan to create a neat edge on the front pieces and around the neck. The entire jacket is knitted with double yarn (1 strand of each yarn quality).
