Shibui Knits Mix No. 16

Two colors create a striking contrast in this simply shaped, flattering Shibui Knits Mix No. 16 cardigan. Details like the triangle rib around the hem, cuffs, and collar elevate this sweater beyond the everyday. The luxe combination of Shibui Knits Cima and Silk Cloud creates a sumptuous fabric with a soft halo. No.16 can be worn with the buttons in front or back, making it a versatile wardrobe essential. This cardigan is knit seamlessly from the bottom up, with the shoulders joined using a three-needle bind-off. The sleeve stitches picked up from around the armhole and worked in the round to the cuffs.
