Knitting colorwork flat is something many knitters dread, so this wonderful knit cardigan is steeked so that it can be stitched in the round! Once the front opening has been reinforced and cut, button bands are picked up and worked. Patons Classic Wool Worsted is the perfect yarn for this technique, as its slightly “toothy” texture means that your steek will remain secure! This is a “fanta-steek” to try out a technique that may be new to you!
