This cardigan is perfect for someone trying colorwork or steeking for the first time, with the large visible stitches in our Turbine yarn. This is a saddle sleeve shoulder cardigan, with two rectangular panels that form the shoulder. The front and back of the cardigan are picked up after the saddle sleeve panels are knit.
