The latest in my Memories of Down Home collection.
Autumn in Eastern Canada has our iconic maple leaves turn gorgeous shades of oranges and reds. Summer comes to an end and students return to classes with a slight chill in the air. That memory is depicted in this fall cardigan with a simple cropped shape and an easy to do texture. With that student in mind we are using a sturdy, easy to launder, worsted weight yarn. We have not included buttonholes, as I have never seen a student button up, but those so inclined might add a zipper or snaps.
Knit in pieces and seamed for structure and durability.
