Canvas Cardi is a timeless staple cardigan that can easily be dressed up or down, just as perfect for everyday wear as it is for special occasions. Choose ready made buttons or create your own to add a personal touch with details that truly speak to you. A blank canvas made just for you! ABOUT THE GARMENT The cardigan is worked flat from the top down with raglan increases shaping the yoke, and finished with a wide, high ribbed hem that gives it a modern look. The sleeves are worked in the round and finished with the same ribbing as the body for a cohesive finish. You can choose between a high collar or folding it down and sewing it in place, depending on the look you prefer. Finally, stitches are picked up for the button bands before the buttons are sewn on, adding the perfect finishing touch.
