This is a simple knit, a straight sided stocking stitch cardigan with the body knitted in one piece and sleeves knitted flat then included in a raglan yoke. The button band creates a shawl collar using short rows - the collar can be made deeper and longer by adding more short rows. It was designed to show off indigo dyed yarn which had each 100g skein in a slightly different shade of blue, but the striping is of course, optional. I’m really pleased with how it has turned out and I hope someone else may be pleased to adapt the pattern to their own needs.
