Noctua Cardigan by Orlane Sucche

With its elegant yoke and relaxed cut, Noctua cardigan will quickly become an essential piece of your wardrobe, all year round. It's perfect for adding effortless style to all your outfits.
Noctua is knitted from the top down. After the openwork yoke, raglan increases are worked up to the armholes. Then the sleeve stitches are put on hold while the lower body is finished. The sleeves are knitted in the round. And the stitches for button bands and collar are picked up at the end and worked in twisted rib. Noctua is knitted in the beautiful Pastoretta yarn from xollawool whose range of colors is so pretty that the hardest part is choosing!

Noctua cardigan is a cardigan version of the Ilha pullover.
