Ever since the release of Shifty, 4 years ago, Andrea Mowry has had requests for a cardigan version. 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.
Please note: This bundle does not include the pattern. Patterns can be purchased directly from Andrea Mowry's website or Ravelry.
