Jensen Cardigan by September Knits | Jensen is a top-down cardigan worked flat, starting with shaping the back neck, to basic raglan increases for working shoulders, sleeves, and body. The deep raglan lines are created to give this sweater a perfect sweatshirt feel and movement in the underarms for clothing under layers. Waist shaping gives it a relaxed and boxy fit. Slimmer fitting arms are created to keep this sweater functional and ready for any activity. This pattern provides several options for customizations, including; button collar or shawl collar, three different body lengths, and additional front pockets.
