I've been trawling the interwebs looking for an existing pattern for this garment, and have learned that this lovely cardigan style is actually better known as a waterfall cardigan. What a lovely and elegant name! I've also seen them called wrap cardigans, but that's kind of boring, so let's go with waterfall, shall we?

Welcome to my new series: Deconstruction. The idea is to virtually deconstruct a RTW garment and make my own version, whether that's by using a similar, existing pattern or by drafting it from scratch. Part one will be my musings on how it could be accomplished, and part two will be the actual making of the garment - and possibly parts three and four, depending on what's required!
