Knitting Pattern for – Wrap cardi, a cropped wrapover top, with long sleeves and ties

Inspired by the 18th century short jacket, this classic wrap cardigan is cropped, and looks great worn over an Empire line, high-waisted dress, or as part of a layered outfit. With instructions for extra-long sleeves, this is a modern twist on the classic ballet-wrap. The sample is knitted using 2 strands of a lovely soft alpaca mix yarn – the equivalent of a 4ply. The pattern first appeared in my 2012 book A Handknit Romance (see separate listing). This is an updated version. Images also show a red version, knitted using a 4ply yarn and with a lace panel at the back and on the sleeves, a chart for which is included in the updated pattern.
