This classic design makes the most of space-dyed Cabrito, with orderly garter panels on the sleeves and the back of this cardigan, paired with a large garter stitch shawl collar that lets the variagation run wild. Knit flat and seamed for a tailored fit, this cardigan uses an intarsia effect but keeps the intarsia technique light. There’s no need to twist yarns, just drop the Cabrito when you’re not using it.
