Construction
The Secret Garden is a DK weight cardigan and is knit from the top down seamlessly in the round using steaks for the center front opening. This cardigan uses a simple color work pattern for the yoke with minimal floats and never more than 2 colors at one time. There are short rows at the neck and back allowing the neck to rise, and the waist to set comfortably. The neck, waist and sleeves have optional double knit instructions to add strength and color in unexpected places. Colorwork is chart only.
