Go Gently Cardigan - Knitting Pattern (PDF)

The Go Gently Cardigan knitting pattern is a practical layering piece for spring.

The ruffle on the shoulder adds that extra touch of whimsy and romance. This pattern is worked flat back and forth, top down in a hybrid round and raglan yoke construction with tapered sleeves and full length body.
