Wildwood Striped Cardigan

designed by Tonia Barry



Wildwood
Multiple shades of undyed pure
wool combine in each color of
Wildwood. A pleasure to knit with,
one thick and thin gently spun
ply is wrapped with a thinner
second ply for a subtle texture with
surprisingly good stitch definition.

This striped cardigan with waist

shaping and raglan sleeves is
worked from the top down, with
short rows used to shape the neck.
