This cardigan is all Texas! The yarn is from a Texan dyer with a colorway depicting my beautiful part of Texas, The Piney Woods. As the name implies, the Piney Woods are a pine forested area full of pretty wildflowers; but this also includes the nine bands which you see on the ever-present armadillos! This round-neck, top-down cardigan is worked with integrated button bands and absolutely no seaming.
