Sorrel uses two different tartan patterns in warm earthy tones. The pattern of the left front and sleeve is actually a stripe pattern, which is then embroidered with vertical lines to mimic tartan. The pattern of the right front and sleeve is worked in stranded colorwork. The back is in solid color in St st. The comfortable cardigan has a relaxed shape and modified drop shoulder sleeves, button bands and a collar, which are worked in single ribbing. The back and fronts are worked flat from the bottom up and sewn together.

Tell us what you think about it.
I really liked the look of this cardigan. I decided to knit it in different colours as it is a gift for someone and I wasn't sure she would like the original colours (which I love). The pattern is easy although I do find some difficulty understanding some of the terminology used as I'm from the UK. So far I've knitted the back and one sleeve and it's knitted up very true to the size.
