This pattern can be found in issue 13 of Laine Magazine.

Hutton is a cosy, comforting slightly oversized cardigan knitted in a plump DK weight yarn using a simple two-colour slip stitch pattern. Only one colour is worked on any one row but an all-over two-colour pattern results. The cardigan is knitted from the bottom up. The lower body is unshaped but is split at the sides to insert deep inset pockets for maximum snuggle. The body is divided at the underarm and fronts and back worked separately until they are joined at the shoulders using a visible 3-Needle Bind-Off. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked downwards to achieve the perfect length. A separate knitted belt is worked to tie around the waist.
