A graceful pairing of gothic cabled arches and leaves on a reverse stockinette stitch background make the most of this kettle dyed yarn. Flared cuffs and graceful peplum shaping blend contemporary ease with classic design. Pleated sleeve caps and shaped side seams contribute to a flattering fit. This buttonless cardigan would make the perfect background for your treasured shawl pin, if a closure is desired. Intuitive to knit, the shaping becomes clear once you have the stitches on your needles. If you are looking for a fun, flattering design to knit with this classic yarn, give the Olive cardigan a try.
