This trim, crisp cardigan is constructed in pieces from the bottom up, with set-in sleeves. It features a deep square neckline and curved panels of textured stitch at the sleeve cuff and sweater hem.

Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Heavyweight is a lovely sweater yarn, with great stitch definition, beautiful colors, and a nice dense hand. A somewhat sturdy yarn should be chosen for this cardigan, to ensure that the square neck holds its shape.

Approximately 3 (3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5) hanks of STR Heavyweight are needed for this cardigan.
