The Khwezi Cardigan is a fun to knit project and it’s worked from both directions.  The raglan yoke is worked from the top down up to the separation for the sleeves.  The stitches are then placed on hold. The body is worked from the bottom up to create flounces and the two are joined together with Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish.  The joining took about an hour and 15 minutes and it was totally worth it!!! The sample is worked in a four colour fade and I used Miss La Motte Twist Sock - Smoke Fade.  The cardigan can be worked in a single colour, 2 colours, a fade set or colour blocked.  I can’t wait to see all the Khwezi Cardigans out there.
