Emerald Isle Cardigan

"I love deep V-neck cardigans with a longer silhouette; so easy to throw on over a t-shirt and jeans. This cardigan features an interesting fold-up cuff detail with a tab and two buttons for different sleeve length options. To minimize finishing I included an eight-stitch ribbed edging at the center front with button holes worked right in. Simple stockinette stitch gets kicked up a notch by using a rag yarn." - Melissa Wehrle.
