There were oohs and aahs all over the office when Cheryl brought this design in. Northfield shows stitch patterning beautifully, and the design at the yoke doesn’t jump out at you like colorwork, but it certainly doesn’t fade into the background either! A great shape for any body, this cardigan needs to be on your must-knit list.
