This waterfall style cardigan evokes the West Coast elegance and no fuss sense. Practical and playful, this will be a great wardrobe addition for both office dwellers and outdoor types. Worked using Susie Myers Contiguous technique, it features asymmetrically placed stripes, generous fronts and faux seams (though it’s worked seamlessly!) Have fun with stripe colors – you can make it as neutral or bright as you wish.

And most importantly, there is no finishing to do! when you bind off, you are done!
