South Shore is a classic cardigan with a modern twist (or two) and an air of understated elegance. South Shore is sure to become a wardrobe staple and looks great with jeans, slacks or a skirt; this is truly a cardigan that can go from the beach to the board room! It’s the little details that count – check out how the stitch detail at the raglan seams is echoed at the side seams and the pockets. The construction is top-down and totally seamless (except for sewing down the sides of the pockets). There’s plenty of structure built into the design so that it will keep its shape after lots of wear. Try it on as you go to get the exact length you want….that’s the beauty of top-down and seamless designs. The double-knit button bands are so worth it! They are a critical aspect of the structure and provide a professional finish that holds its shape and doesn’t stretch out even at the buttonholes. The pattern includes a link to the video recorded just for this button band. This design really shows off hand-dyed yarns, and will look great in any DK yarn with good stitch definition. *This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.* **SIZING** XS(S, M, L, XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL).
