Snohvit Cardigan

Snohvit Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases. The body is kept clean and simple, while the sleeves feature elegant cable motifs. After separating the sleeves, they are worked in the round, and the body continues straight to the hem. Stitches are then picked up along the neckline to form a neat, cozy collar. The result is a warm and comfortable cardigan perfect for winter.
