The first time I watched Twin Peaks one of the things that really grabbed my attention as a knitter were all of the amazing sweaters worn by the characters. This design is inspired by the cardigan Donna wears in the pilot, a slightly oversized drop shoulder cardigan where color work meets color block for a stylish and cozy piece to add to your (Twin Peaks inspired) handmade wardrobe!

Notes
This cardigan is knit flat from the bottom up. The fronts and back are separated at the underarm and worked flat separately from there. Short rows are worked to shape the shoulders and three needle bind off is used to seam the shoulders. The sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm hole opening and knit in the round. An applied i-cord edge is worked as a finishing for the front band/collar.
