Dusty Cardigan

Dusty is worked from the top down in one piece using short-row shaping on the shoulders. The cardigan features an off-center, one-button closure on the front with a lace border reminiscent to hops growing on tall frames. A-line shaping worked a distance away from sides on the Fronts and the Back gives this cardigan a sophisticated drape. The Sleeves are worked by picking up stitches around the armholes and short-row shaping is used to achieve the look of a traditional set-in sleeve. Borders are worked in I-cord for a nice, clean look. The sample is worked in Mad Tosh DK Twist, which is a hand-dyed yarn. With this or any hand-dyed yarn, I suggest alternating skeins every 2 rows to eliminate any noticeable color differences between the skeins.

Gauge 17.25 and 24 rows = 4 inches/10 cm
