Well, I love the original Sixth Street, but with summer right around the corner here, I figured I’d need one that was a little lighter weight… Voila! Same sweater, same great fit, lighter yarn. I used Plucky’s Primo Sport (divine!) but this will also work in Traveler Sport, Cashmere Sport, Oxford, Snug Fingering, you get the idea. Already own the other one? Then this one’s half price. No code necessary ;)

Notes
This cardigan is worked flat, in one piece from the bottom up. It is split at the armholes where the front and back are worked separately to the shoulders. After the shoulders are seamed, sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked down in the round. The buttonband is picked up and worked last.
