The Waffle cardigan is worked from the top down with 3 strands of our Soft Silk Mohair held together. You begin with the seamless double neckband, then work some short-row shaping to raise the back neckline. The buttonbands are worked at the same time as the fronts, and the raglan construction adds an element of design to the lace pattern. The length of the body and sleeves can be easily adjusted.
Waffle Cardigan stitch patterns are charted only.
