Dancing Queen is a seamless, top down cardigan that is steeked. A splash of mod fair isle at the beginning, bracelet length sleeves with an accent of color and bright buttons make it fun and versatile. Thought you couldn’t steek MCN or superwash? Rubbish. I double reinforced this on my $89 sewing a machine in 5 minutes and it didn’t pull a bit.

There are no short rows in the yoke, as I like the symmetric pattern of a fair isle yoke. You can easily add your own, though.
