Birnam is a simple yet attractive cardigan for cuddling your little one on a cool day. It is seamless, raglan-style, and knit from the top down. The Birnam Wood Stitch accent provides texture and interest to the cardigan. Today, the Birnam Oak stands as the sole surviving tree of Birnam Wood, which plays a role in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Using a slipped stitch edge, the button band is worked in concert with the rest of the sweater. Intarsia can be used to create button bands in a contrasting color from the body of the sweater. Perfect for layering on to keep your little one extra warm!
