Juicy Bonbon Cardigan

Job type Test knit
Description

The Juicy Bonbon Cardigan is worked top down beginning with the upper back. Then, the shoulders are picked up and knit, continuing to work the chest. Next, the lower body and hem are knit. The sleeves are worked by picking up sts at either side and knit in stockinette, ending with the cuffs. Lastly, the neckline is completed by picking up and casting off the edge stitches.

The test officially begins on 8/26, but you can start before then if you'd like :)
