  • Alma - Cardigan

    Alma is the flowy, cozy drop-shoulder cardigan of our dreams. It's open front and long length invites us to curl up in it with a steaming mug of tea, while the delicate lace panels running down the fronts catch the light (and eye!) beautifully.

    Alma is worked flat and bottom up, beginning in one piece before being separate for front and back at the armhole. The shawl collar is worked contiguously with the
    garment body. Sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked long.
