Warm sheep is a combination of comfort, structure and elegance. It features a slightly tailored silhouette and is designed to sit 1.5” above hip. If you knit this in a dark color and use subdued buttons, it can even be used as a casual office attire. Thumbholes add charm and warmth! This cardigan is worked top down seamlessly using the modified version of Contiguous method developed by Susie M.

Cascade Ecological Wool is a wonderfully sheepy, warm and earthy yarn, not too mention it wears like iron. If you’re substituting, I suggest going by your gauge.
