Xania Cardi

A lovely, toasty knitted coat with a slight balloon shape. Knitted in no time in rib and brioche stitch.

Construction
Worked top-down with one strand of each quality held together. First in stockinette, then rib, and lastly brioche. Only 2 increase rows. The brioche pulls in a little once worn, so the cardi won't look quite as large as the measurements suggest.
