From Knitscene Magazine, Winter 2011
The Vera cardigan with sections of diagonal stripes across the shoulders, waist and hips, is reminiscent of the beautiful patterns on Navajo rugs. It has two patch pockets and features wide reverse stockinette welted edgings that are gathered by button loops.

The pattern was designed to have a loose fit with some positive ease, so if you are between sizes, select the smaller size. The cardigan is worked from the top down and in one piece with no seams.
