A simple and flattering cardigan with a vintage feel. The garter stitch yoke and cuffs create texture while the delicate puffed sleeve adds a feminine touch. Kate and I feel strongly that in many instances, knitting a sweater in pieces is superior to the all-in-one method as it creates a cleaner line and a more tailored look to the finished garment. Top down or bottom up all-one-piece sweaters are fun to knit, but a tailored and seamed sweater is more fun to wear.
