Pattern Description from Interweave Online Store: “Deborah Newton’s easy V-neck cardigan is knitted in a soft angora-wool blend. A clean shape and simple stitch pattern allow the yarn’s texture and luminous colors to be the central feature of the design. Two chain-stitch ties attached to the inside lightly hold the fronts of the sweater in place. The one-button closure is a great opportunity to show off a special button.”
