I wanted to knit a cardigan that was light and warm, perfect for those in-between days, when you can’t figure out if you’re a little too warm or a little too cold. The cardigan is worked from the top, and increases are made to the front while the shoulders are shaped. The shoulder stitches are rested while the body is worked, and because I ran out of yarn, the sleeves ended up being 3/4 long.

Inspired by the Contiguous Method by Susie Myers, SusieM on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/people/SusieM), my take creates eyelets along the top of the shoulder, and on either side of the shoulders.

The pattern hasn’t been test knitted because I wrote it years ago, and I only had notes to work from. There may be mistakes so if you do come across them, I’d greatly appreciate hearing from you. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Happy knitting. :)
