Grey Leaves cardigan is worked from the bottom-up in worsted weight yarn. The raglan shaping allows this cardigan to be worked in one piece and the high collar keeps you warm in the cold months of winter. Lace pockets are worked after the cardigan is complete and a tutorial is included for creating them.

NOTE: Cable and leaf pattern is both charted and written.
