Some days you’re feeling minimalist and some days you want All The Things in your project. The Quirauk cardigan was dreamt up when I was in the latter mood. I packed all my favorite sweater features into one snuggly project—cables, textured stitches, pockets (of course), puffed sleeves, and a chunky double-layered collar, all wrapped up in the sweater shape I’ve become most fond of, the saddle shoulder. Knit in Hudson + West Forge, a springy, sturdy worsted weight yarn, it’s destined to be your go-to, throw-over-everything winter cardi.
