Eva Cardigan Pattern by CocoKnits Online Sale

Eva is a lightweight, cropped, kimono-style cardigan. It has a relaxed fit, slightly off the shoulders and wide-bodied. The ribbed neckbands are worked simultaneously with the upper cardigan, then split off and finished separately to become front ties that can be knotted or left to hang.

The sides are split from just under the armholes, giving the fabric movement and swing. Because you are working from the top down, you can easily add more length to the body and/or sleeves if desired. Just be sure to buy more yarn!

BEFORE PURCHASING THIS PATTERN
