Working Cables Cardigan

About the Design:: This sweater has a fitted silhouette, with just enough ease to fit over a blouse or top. I wanted it to look equally as good with jeans on the weekend, as it would with a skirt or slacks at work. Knit in Peace Fleece worsted, which is a 70% American and Russian wool blend with 30% mohair. Peace Fleece comes in wonderful heather shades.

The sleeves are square-inset, for less underarm bulk. Finishing is minimal. The edgings are sc with slip stitch, which creates a clean line. The back of neck is shaped with short rows, and the large collar sits away from the neck for stylish comfort.

Yarn: Peace Fleece worsted weight, 70% American and Russian wool / 30% mohair, 200 yds / 4 oz hanks: 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 hanks Samantha-Katia Pink
