2268 Cardigan & Waistcoat (2 - 13 years)
WEB EXCLUSIVE

This is a mini, big-collarless version of this grownup jacket, and so the grownup description mostly applies: If there's a jacket (or vest!) out there that's faster to make, really easy to knit, and more chic to wear, we don't know of it. The shoulders/sleeve tops are a fascinating hybrid. Armholes are unshaped, sleeves have a soft cap-- but the shoulders are so decidedly sloped that, in effect, the shoulder overhang forms the sleeve top. This gives marvellous roominess over other garments when worn. All instructions are written out in full, so it sounds just like a knitting coach is talking you through it.
