TEXTURED CARDIGAN

Knit Simple Winter 2010/11 #8
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick

The sleeves and pockets of this carefree cardigan carry a deeply textured check pattern created by alternating cables with reverse stockinette stitch. For a change in direction, the stockinette yoke is worked separately and allowed to roll back to form the collar.
