From pattern description:
Long, belted cardigans have a knack for looking both irresistibly warm and effortlessly stylish in knitting patterns, and I’m sure I’m not alone in ogling them. However, with many such patterns featuring fancy-pants cables and other tricky thingamabobs, I remain intimidated. And yet, I still ogle.

The solution? The Grayscale Cardigan. It features only two simple stitches, making it user friendly for the knitter new to sweaters. Even though very little shaping is involved, the rib stitches make the shape for you, so your feminine contours do not go unflattered. What’s more, it’s a big, warm cardie made from smaller panels that are compact enough to fit in your bag for the daily commute.

The pattern also includes your choice of belts, for a personal touch. If you’re ready for a fast, easy and sassy cardigan experience, it’s knitting time.
