The Moorit Girls Cardigan is a bottom-up, drop-shoulder cardigan knit in half fisherman’s rib. The welts provide this cardigan with a tailored but cozy look. The sample is knit with an applied foldover shawl collar/button band; however, the pattern also includes options for a non-foldover collar OR a collar with no shaping. This cardigan is named after the yarn used for the sample (a delightful farm yarn purchased at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool).
