During the lockdowns I decided to try my hand at a new skill, steeking. I picked up the beautiful yarn on the last day my LYS was open, and set about designing the most terrifying sweater I have ever knit. It turns out, it wasn’t so difficult after all! This round-neck, top-down cardigan is worked in the round and steeked. Button bands and neckband are added after.
