Agnes Crochet Cardigan Pattern

A short sleeved cardigan with a corset tied closure is the chameleon of layering accessories. Short sleeves can add modest covereage to a sleeveless under layer. The corset ties can be positioned to create an empire or natural waist, and be cinched as loosely or snugly as you desire. The side vents add extra hip ease and visual interest. Agnes is constructed as a single piece with minimal finishing.
