The Cruiser ticks all the boxes: it’s interesting to knit with an unusual construction, it’s comfy to wear, and can be worn with just about anything in your wardrobe. Effortlessly trendy, this cardigan will keep you cruisin’ all day!
Pattern Notes
Cruiser is knit from the top down using short rows to shape the yoke and sleeves. The sleeves are knit at the same time as the yoke sections.
Cruiser was designed to be worn with 4-6” (10-15 cm) positive ease around the bust. As this design is a batwing shape, there is plenty of room around the upper arm. If you prefer to size down for less ease, you can easily do so by knitting the next size down.
