Godfrey Cardigan
​Interweave | Urban Knit Collection: 18 City-inspired Knitting Patterns for the Modern Wardrobe, 2016


Inspired by stacked brickwork on an old building in New York City, this saddle shoulder cardigan is a classic design that boasts an angled textured pattern. Paring the design down to its basic form and using exquisite materials, Godfrey is the kind of cardigan that will stay in style as long as its color lasts. Keeping the first and last few stitches in stockinette while working the individual pieces creates a beautiful finish at the sides and under the arms.
