This stunning open-front cardigan is a tour de force of design, with reversible twisted-stitch cables that look equally handsome on both sides of the fabric. For knitters who love a puzzle, Intersect is worked one piece at a time, with stitches for the next section picked up and knit in a new direction. The skirt flares flatteringly at the hips and the fronts drape and swing beautifully. The result is a sweater to treasure, arresting in bold colors or quietly lovely in pale neutrals.
