Mulberry Cardigan is knit seamlessly from top to bottom, making it easy to try on as you go. Knitting begins at the back with gently sloped shoulders created with short rows before working to the underarms where stitches are put on a holder. Stitches are then picked up for front shoulders, which are again shaped with short rows, to the underarms where front panels and back are joined and worked down to the lower hem. Sleeves are then picked up directly from the body and worked in rounds down to the cuffs. Button band and buttons are added last.

Let the tweed flecks in this slightly fuzzy heathered yarn do all the talking for this rather minimalist sweater. Simple stockinette stitch fabric really allows interesting yarns to shine. Consider selecting a yarn with similar characteristics.
