Women’s Cropped Cardigan.
This sweater looks more complicated
than it actually is. There is no cable
work on the back, and the cluster rib,
while it does employ a cable needle,
does not involve actually moving
stitches around. This pattern has set-in
sleeves, so the sleeve cap shaping
matches the armhole shaping.
