“The incredibly simple construction of this cardigan allows it to be worn two different ways: length-wise, or cropped with a dramatic collar. I paired this wonderfully interesting silhouette with a simple, geometric waffle stitch and a rolled stockinette opening. It hangs beautifully in either style – knitter’s choice!” – Michele Wang


CONSTRUCTION
Removable markers or coil-less safety pins are numbered in the pattern for reference during finishing. If it is helpful to you, tie a differently-colored bit of yarn around each one to distinguish between them.
