Hodgsons Joy

Hodgsons Joy is a pretty cardigan showcasing shifting bands of texture. Knitted in Lore, it is a lightweight yet warm layering piece that will take the chill off Wintery days. The cardigan is worked in one piece from the hem to the armholes, then the fronts and back are worked separately. The three-quarter-length sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up and set into the armholes.
