Faux Cabled Cardigan
Traditional yoke shaping makes this top-down cardigan a quick and easy knit. A clever arching lace motif along the yoke and hem gives the appearance of cables and is beautifully enhanced by the simple background of reverse stockinette. The sport-weight wool is worked up in a looser-than-normal gauge to make this a comfortable, lightweight cardigan. Simple yet stunning, this sweater will be divine layered over your favorite jeans or dressy skirt when spring weather turns nippy.
