Charcoal Ribbed Cardigan

Interweave SKU: EP0955 Pattern Description from Interweave Online Store: *This man's shawl-collar cardigan features set-in saddle shoulders, which emphasize the stately ribbing at the shoulder line. Ribbing at the hem and cuffs blends smoothly into a garter-rib pattern that creates a vertical aesthetic without making the sweater pull in as much as regular ribbing. A classic sweater for the man in your life, this cardigan will wear from year to year with gentlemanly grace.* **Finished Size:** 36 (41¼, 44¼, 48, 53¼)" (91.5 \[105, 112.5, 122, 135] cm) chest circumference.
