This pattern is part of my new book Great Knit Sweaters for Guys Big & Small, available now on Amazon.

This cardigan has a kind of easy casualness about it. The yarn is a bit rustic; it’s an all-American yarn for an all-American type of guy. Named after the village where our neighborhood originally resided, Middlebury is as laid-back as its small-town namesake.
