Introducing Biston, a relaxed cocoon-style cardigan that makes an easy layering piece for any season. This knit project is designed to let the beautiful texture of Brooklyn Tweed, Loft yarn shine. Crafted flat in one piece, Biston’s standout feature is a slanting rib band that elegantly radiates from the center back neck, creating a stunning contrast against the reverse stockinette fabric of the body.

With its laid-back, loose fit through the body and snug 3/4-length sleeves, Biston is a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Plus, fitting notes are provided to help you choose the perfect size or customize the fit to your liking!

Construction
Knit in one piece from cuff to cuff, Biston is folded and seamed along the sleeve edges, with a beautiful textured trim picked up and worked circularly to complete the design.
