Warm Sheep by SweaterFreak

Warm Sheep is a combination of comfort, structure and elegance. It features a slightly tailored silhouette and is designed to sit 1.5” above widest part of hip. If you knit this in a dark color and use subdued buttons, it can even be worn as casual office attire. Thumbholes add charm and warmth! This cardigan is worked top down seamlessly using the modified version of the Contiguous Method by Susie M.

Cascade Ecological Wool is a wonderfully sheepy, warm and earthy yarn, not too mention it wears like iron. If substituting yarns, please swatch to determine correct gauge.  Errata: Body hem should be k1(p2,k2) to end.

Kit includes pdf & printed pattern, button selection and yarn. Please add your button preference to "Notes" at checkout for faster delivery (Kit does not include button #0728H44).  For yarn winding services, click here.
