Simple and classic, the Palette cardigan is the “grown-up” version of the Art Class sweater. With shaping for the waist and hips, this cardi is created to flatter an adult’s figure. Worked from the top down, gradual increases create additional neck and back shaping for a comfortable fit. Gradient stripes are worked along the bottom of the sweater, allowing you to add your own flair to the design. Choose your Palette and start your knitting!
