These two colors of yarn were the inspiration for this cardigan. When I saw them, I knew they had to be used together in a sweater. The “Faux-Isle” band on the yoke of this top-down, set-in sleeve cardigan creates the effect of fair isle, even though you’re only ever using one color per row! This pattern is also great for using up coordinating bits of leftover yarn.
