COLORWORK CARDIGAN

Noro Knitting Magazine Fall/Winter 2013 #18

Design by Cheryl Murray

Cheryl Murray pairs Noro Silk Garden #381 and #387— analogous colorways with contrasting values—for the stranded colorwork body and corrugated rib trims on her drop-shoulder cardigan. It’s worked in the round, with shaping for the V neckline, and steeked to keep the color graduations symmetrical. The neckband is picked up and knit from the steeked edges.
