Payne's Gray Cardigan

Payne’s Gray Cardigan is a classic V-neck cardigan with a broad ribbed hem and long sleeves. The upper back and the lower sleeves are embellished with twisted-stitch X’s. The cardigan is worked top down. After working the upper body to armhole depth, the sleeve stitches are put on hold and the straight lower body is finished. Stitches for the ribbed front bands are picked up along the fronts and neck edges. Buttons allow the cardigan to be worn closed. Finally, the sleeves are worked in the round.
