Dawn
by Hanna Maciejewska Dawn is an open cardigan with cable details in the raglans and fronts. It is knitted in one piece from the top down. These are pattern notes - not a thorough pattern. Notes are written in one size only but they can be super easy customized: for smaller sizes CO less sts, for the bigger sizes just keep increasing in the yoke until it fits over your shoulders. Pleasenote that notes haven't beentested by anyonesoif youfindanymistakes orinconsistency,please donot hesitatetocontactme.
