Slalom
A cozy cardigan with integrated patterned pockets, a cabled edging, and a bit of a slope at the waist.
Worked in one piece from the bottom-up. Shoulders are joined, then sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked in the round from the top-down. Neck, pockets, and hem are finished with a cabled edging. Slalom is best suited for the more experienced knitter.
Includes both charts and fully written instructions of chart patterns.
