Granny Cardigan by Joji Locatelli

As you slip on this cardigan, you can’t help but feel a sense of warmth and security, like you’re wrapped up in a hug from your favorite grandmother. It’s a feeling that stays with you all day, reminding you of the power of love and the comfort of home.

This cardigan is knitted from the top down. The construction starts at the shoulders, where you set up all the cables, and then you work all the way down to the underarms, where you join all the pieces together. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and knitted in the round, seamlessly. The button-band is also knitted in one piece, allowing you to finish this sweater with minimal work.
