“Is it a vest, a sweater, or a combination of the two? Using two shades of a tweedy-looking yarn, you will have the best of both in this easy-to-make, relaxed-look cardigan with fron pockets. Instead of buttons, skinny ribbed ties make a distinctive center front. The knit 2, purl 2 rib creates stretchy sleeves that move with you. With no band and buttonholes, this project is a perfect first cardigan to knit - and it’s available in 5 sizes!”
