SAND CARDIGAN

The Sand cardigan is a classical raglan model featuring a simple structural pattern which is fun and easy to knit. The texture of the knit, combined with the characteristics of the two yarns held together; tweed silk mohair and the chunky, yet soft blown yarn, is reminiscing of the sand-borne glaciers of Iceland and results in a truly luxurious garment.

You will be working flat, from the neck down, using the following techniques: Casting on and off, knitting and purling, picking up stitches, increasing (M1R and M1L) and decreasing (k2tog and ssk). Sleeves are worked in the round. To finish, a ribbed band with buttons and buttonholes is worked along the front edges.
