The Eldey Cardigan is worked from the neck down in a textured pattern, using 1 strand of Highland Mini and 1 strand of Kid Mohair held together. The unusual construction that shapes the shoulders is the point of departure for this design. The cardigan incorporates slanted pockets shaped by increases.
