PALACE is a very feminine cardigan with a round neckline, a Claudine collar and straight sleeves tightened at cuff.
It is knitted from top to bottom seamlessly. We start the yoke from the back then the front stitches are picked on the top of the shoulders formed by shortened rows. The stitches of the sleeves are picked up then worked at the same time as the top of the body and then left on hold at the separation. The body (back and front) is worked back and forth and the button band at the same time. The sleeve stitches are picked up and knit in the round. The neckline is finished with a Claudine collar.
