A classic, easy cardigan with simple shaping and plain stockinette, to provide a wide canvas for the alternating bands of shifting color.

The hood is a wide and smiling version, draping when raised, and laying across the shoulders when not. The cuffs and hem have a classic rib, and the sleeves and body are gently but not-too-snugly fitted. The simple lines make it an easy and relaxing project, with the color changes keeping it enticing to knit and a joy to wear.
