This pattern is featured in the book Knit a Little by Marie Greene.

I’m generally a style minimalist, but this cardigan called for a little extra. Pebble & Stone is a party of textures and graphic color that work together beautifully. Lean into bold contrast or keep it subtle and let the texture lead the way. The sporty detail and stripes give this cardigan a collegiate feel - maybe try your favorite school or team colors?

Pebble & Stone is knit flat – in one seamless piece - from the top down, and will keep your interest from start to finish.
