Everyone needs a basic black cardigan. This is my version of that simple sweater - garter stitch, loose fitting raglan yoke and flattering waist shaping. Accidentally added spot of hand dyed yarn at the bottom of the hem only made this more special!

Yarn: 6 (6, 7, 7, 8, 9) skeins of Semilla DK by BC Garn and 1 partial skein of DK Twist by Madelinetosh.
