Tucked Away
Tucked Away
The Tucked Away cardigan features a saddle shoulder yoke and A-line waist shaping for a flattering fit. Knit mostly in garter stitch, this pattern is carefully constructed to look dramatic while being easy and quick to knit (with hardly any purling!). Big, squishy cables run from the shoulders, down the front of the body, and tuck snugly into the pockets. This is the perfect project for knitters who are tired of the same old raglan yoke, and ready for a fun, timeless construction. So, tuck in; it’s time to knit a cardigan.
