PATTERN NOTES
If you’re a lover of color and stripes, this pattern is for you. By alternating two shades of self-shading Poems, vibrant stripes are created with minimal effort. Garter ridges provide texture and interest to this simple cardigan that is knit flat in one piece. The sides and sleeves are seamed, and the garment is finished with a simple crochet edging.
