Kingfisher is a magnificent women’s open-front cardigan that is perfectly cozy on cooler days. Knit in Valley Yarns Becket, Kingfisher features a plush shawl collar, and front and back cables on an easy reverse stockinette background.
The cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up to the armholes. A bold cable is worked up each front panel, and a single cable is worked up the center back. The cable patterns are charted and written out.
