Description

The Meme Cardigan is a fun, classic knit with a feminine neckline that starts with swatching the saddle shoulder pieces and then knitting all the rest from the top down with no seams to finish. The fabric is graced with both twisted-stitch cables and other low-relief cables that present a slimming silhouette. Fully charted and written.
