Named for Ruth Nichols, the founder of Relief Wings, which eventually became an ancillary relief service of the Civil Air Patrol during WWII, this cardi is motif work at its most sophisticated … and easy! If you can make a rectangle and some squares, you can make this cardigan. Choose a light worsted weight yarn that will show off the wonderfully textured stitches and motifs; then get ready for the compliments.
