If I were Mr. Rogers, this is the sweater I would reach for every time I came back inside, or left to go outside, for that matter! This is the cardigan I grab for - to get cozy, to throw on as a light jacket, or to finish an outfit comfy enough for every day and polished enough for the office or date night. I hope it becomes your cardigan-for-everyday too!
The DRK (DreaReneeKnits) Everyday cardi is knit from the top down, beginning with the folded collar. It can be worn with either the knit or purl side facing out, with just a few simple tweaks to the directions (which are included in the pattern). The raglan “seams” from the yoke are carried all the way down to the hem of the cardigan. The body is knit flat, and the sleeves are knit in the round. The button band is worked using an applied double knit technique for a beautifully polished finish!
