The Bye Bye Birdie is a very basic cardigan in its shaping and construction, it is worked from the top down without seams.
The special touch of the design is provided by the braids that run along the body, this also makes a difference in terms of knitting experience and turns this basic into a very special design.
The cardi is designed to make a good fade shine, but it also looks fantastic in a semi-solid color.
In the pattern you will find videos of all the techniques used.
