Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2009: “Slip stitching has a Fair Isle effect on the upper portion of Newton’s vivid long-sleeved cardigan, in ‘Guanaco’ by Aslan Trends. The lower body and center sleeves are worked in a cable rib; the front bands are bound off in a contrasting color, making a bold statement.”

“Standard fitting cardigan worked in cables and slip stitch color change pattern.”
