ROSE (EN)

Description

ROSE is a very feminine cardigan with a lovely fullness, a V-neck, and cables found on the raglans, the bottom of the work, and the cuffs. Knitted from the top down in one piece, you can easily adapt the length of the sleeves and body. Additionally, I explain how to achieve a less fitted version at the waist if you prefer.

LEVEL
Suitable for adventurous beginners
