Audrey In Unst by The Shetland Trader | Audrey is a vintage-inspired, cardigan featuring a bib of Shetland lace. This cardi is knit seamlessly and worked bottom-up with set-in sleeves. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches at the armhole and working short rows to shape the cap. Two options are provided for the lower body, a fitted version with a deep ribbed hem or a longer A-line shaped version with a curved hem. There are also two options for the sleeves, ¾ length or full length and two different neck treatments, ribbed or I-Cord. If making adjustments to the length of the cardigan be aware that this will affect the button band numbers so you may need to make adjustments there. Intended to be worn with 0–1” / 0–2.5 cm negative ease for fitted version, ¾ length sleeves. Intended to be worn with 1-2” / 2.5-5 cm positive ease for A-Line version, full length sleeves.
