BLACKPOOL CARDIGAN Zanete Hussain
Inspired by a walk along the seaside on a chilly spring day, the Blackpool Cardigan is an elegant and decidedly feminine sweater featuring long puffed sleeves and a close fit. It is worked using one strand of each color held together throughout. The sleeves are worked before the body, then all the pieces are joined and the raglan armholes are shaped with decreases. Short-rows are used to shape the bust.
