Tear Cardigan by Emma Vining for Simply Knitting Magazine |
The tear design is inspired by ripped jeans. The tears in the knitting are made by using the one row button hole technique. Each tear is at the wear points such as the elbows and the lower edge. There are even little tears for thumb holes. You can add in more if you like!

The ribbed border bands are knitted as part of the fronts. The rib is carried on round to the back of the neck and stitched into place after sewing the shoulder seams. The shoulders are worked in short row shaping for a flattering drape.
