Knit yourself the perfect grab-and-go sweater in the effortless Wandle Cardigan. This timeless design features a simple ribbed lace pattern worked with two strands of sportweight yarn held together. The doubled yarn creates a chunky gauge that works up quickly while also blending the tonal color differences in this hand-dyed yarn. The overall effect is a lovely, allover heathered look with minimal color pooling.

• This cardigan is worked in pieces and seamed. Sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch with ribbed lace cuffs.

• When shaping shoulders and front neck, maintain the Ribbed Lace pattern as much as possible. If there are not enough stitches to work both a yarn over and its accompanying decrease, work the leftover stitches in stockinette stitch.
