Restless Cables Cardigan

Classy and classic, you’ll find this open cardigan essential for your winter sweater wardrobe. The simple cables affect the fabric around them, resulting in a restless bend and flow to the overall pattern. The sleeves have a bit of fullness that gathers in gracefully at the cuffs. Welted details add the perfect finishing touch. Worked almost seamlessly in a worsted weight yarn, this is a quick and satisfying knit.
