Instead of shabby chic, this cardigan is classy casual. The simple design allows for an easy, relaxed fit while the classic color work adds a striking bit of contrast. The Bon Tricot yarn has a gentle marl and is incredibly soft. The color work on the body is done with a short steek, and the rest is worked flat. Sleeves are knit in the round from picked up stitches with a few short rows for shape.
Test knitters are welcome to use any yarn that makes gauge and may adjust the pattern to suit.
