Milkshake Cardigan by Joji Locatelli

Craft: Knitting

Pattern Notes

Milkshake is the ultimate “everything” sweater and a great staple addition to any wardrobe. This classically styled cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch from the top down with short-row shaping in the back-panel and sleeves for a more structured fit in the shoulders. The button band and edging are done in a simple rib for a clean finish which highlights the simple lines of the cardigan.
