Amelka Cardigan

Overview The Amelka Cardigan is worked top down and flat with a raglan construction. This cardigan makes for a light layering piece, the fluffy alpaca makes it cosy and warm, while the I cord bows give it a touch of whimsy. Although the cardigan is worked in simple stockinette, it has heaps of pretty details like eyelet increases and the curved hem. The body is finished off with I cord trim and ties at the neck while the sleeves have adjustable ties which allow you to cinch in for balloon sleeves or remove for a straight sleeve.
