This is a long-ish, cable-knit cardigan. The pattern has been re-written to be more size inclusive and has been tech-edited. It is very warm, and perfect for snowy days and glasses of wine by the fire. This yarn is resilient and good for standing up to moths, so you should have this sweater to enjoy for many winters!
