CAS CARDIGAN

An exploration in stripes and directionality, Cas is a wearable puzzle that 
you will enjoy solving as you proceed from one ‘Aha!’ moment to the next.


Transitioning seamlessly from vertical to horizontal stripes, the ease of knitting 
this cardigan will charm you as much as the mystery of its construction. If you 
have not knitted a garment before, but can work in garter stitch and are willing 
to do some basic sewing for assembly, this is pattern is suitable for your skill level.

At the same time, its quirks and unexpected details will engage the minds of experienced garment knitters. 



Cas means to turn, or rotate in Irish Gaelic. As you work on the cardigan,
 this will make perfect sense!


In addition to a standard schematic, the pattern includes a diagram showing the construction.
