Sweet Oak Hooded Cardigan

Sweet Oak is a cosy, versatile little cardigan with a generous hood and three-quarter length sleeves. The eyelet motif forms gentle ridges.

The stitch pattern is deceptively easy to work. Eyelets are repeated in the sleeves and the hood, where they serve double-duty as visual detail and shaping. Fronts and back are worked together seamlessly to the armholes, and the sides are slightly shaped for a flattering silhouette. The cardigan is finished with a garter stitch button band and twisted cord in the hood.
