West Quaco Cardigan
Knit with me and you’ll never be cold again, no matter what weather conditions you face! This raglan sleeve cardigan is heavily cabled and creates a dense, rich fabric. The front of the sweater shows off a decorative cable while the back and sleeves feature a lattice that creates a heavy, warm fabric. It is worked bottom up, flat. The sleeves are worked flat and joined at the end. Stitches are picked up to make the collar and button bands.
