Celeste Cardigan is a feminine cardigan with bow ties. The cardigan is worked from the top down, where increases for the shoulder are made first at the same time as short rows. Then increases are made for the sleeves and finally for the armhole. The sleeves are wide and finished off with a folded hem. I-cord edges are worked along the front pieces and the neckline, and then bow ties are also worked using the i-cord technique.
