The Aurora Shawl Collar Cardigan is perfect as a heavy sweater or light jacket. The shaping on this garment helps remove some of the bulk usually associated with bulky yarns and the shawl collar is fun to knit. The body is made from the bottom up in one piece to the armholes. Sleeves are picked up from the armholes and knit down in the round, and the shawl collar is worked in garter stitch with short rows.
