Le Knit - Caia Cardigan max - Paper

The Caia Cardigan is knitted from the top down. It has an interesting construction, which at the same time gives a good fit and is both entertaining and easy to knit. The icing on the cake is the vertical rib edge along the front edges and the v-neck, which is knitted to the cardigan at the same time as it is knitted.
