Meadowsweet cardigan

This design features an innovative way to use long-repeat or ombre yarns that makes a feature of the way the garment pieces fit together because there are no side seams in this design. Instead, the slow-changing colors of the yarn are shown off to great advantage where the two pieces of the body meet in the center-back seam. The classic V-neck styling, narrow borders and three-quarter sleeves make this a very easy style to make and to wear. As an added bonus, the pattern also includes instructions for making the companion 'Sunset' cardigan; an off-set striped version of this design.
