Disambiguation:


This pattern has nearly the same name as pattern #37 in this magazine. Both indeed have shawl collars, but while the other is a sportier, raglan cardigan with furry-novelty-yarn sleeves and collar, this one is the fuzzy astrakan jacket tied with a ribbon.

From pattern description:


“Loose-fitting, cross over tie front cardigan with ribbed shawl collar.”

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 2005:


“Debbie Bliss’ cardigan is marked by a soft touch on its cuffs and shawl collar, worked in a K2, P2 rib in Debbie Bliss/KFI’s ‘Cashmerino Aran.’ The stockinette body, in Debbie Bliss/KFI’s nubby ‘Cashmerino Astrakhan,’ boasts side-seam shaping and set-in sleeves. A wide suede ribbon closes the front.”
