This easy to wear cardigan is knitted in King Cole Riot Chunky, Shade 650, Denim. I love the long colour changes in this yarn. I have matched up the starting points for the fronts so that the stripes run across the garment, but it would also look great in more random stripes.

The tear design is inspired by ripped jeans. The tears in the knitting are made by using the one row button hole technique. Each tear is at the wear points such as the elbows and the lower edge. The ribbed border bands are knitted as part of the fronts. The shoulders are worked in short row shaping for a flattering drape.
