Ever since the release of Shifty, 4 years ago, I’ve had requests for a cardigan version. I am so thrilled to finally be able to bring this wee cardi to life! The shifting colors and fun texture will keep you knitting “just one more row!” all the way to the end, and it is sure to be one of the most eye-catching pieces in your wardrobe! This sweater is knit from the top down, in the round, using stranded colorwork. It is knit seamlessly and then steeked.

This bundle contains the suggested amounts of yarn In Spincycle Dyed in the Wool in the colors listed. Pattern and needles will need to be purchased separately.

Spincycle is a sport weight ,100% superwashed American wool . 200 yards per skein that should be hand washed cold and laid flat to dry. MADE IN THE USA FROM SHEEP TO SKEIN. The dyed in the wool process means each skein is unique.
