Sarah's Shawl-Collared Cardigan
This vintage-inspired jacket is loaded with 50's-style charm, from the shapely silhouette to the deep shawl collar and 3/4 length sleeves.
A strand each of wool and mohair give the body a kittenish, sexy softness. The wool-only ribbing and collar provide sharpened definition to the curvy edges and the front closes with a single button or a nice shawl pin.
Suggested for intermediate level knitters.
