Description

The Supernova Cardigan is a cleverly constructed cardigan designed by Imke von Nathusius which begins with just a few stitches at the back neck and radiates outward with sections of a simple broken rib stitch pattern and wide columns of stockinette stitch forming the graphic raglan shaping. The doubled neckband is knit-as-you-go and the folded hem makes a smooth, professional finish.

Named for a powerful and luminous stellar explosion, the Supernova Cardigan will be the bright star of your handmade wardrobe.
