Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Winter 2006: “A simple silhouette makes the most of a fiery hand-dyed and textured yarn in Kendra Cray’s breezy cardigan. Tapered fronts hang open to accent the swingy flared hem, and the rounded asymmetrical collar closes with a single button. Although the cardigan has the pared down appeal of a Chanel jacket, the vibrant yarn and the unusual collar detail put it in a class all of its own.”
