Have you been looking for that perfect, easy to wear, everyday cardigan? Look no further, as I have a great one for you: my Sticky Toffee Cardigan! This cardigan features brioche stitch on a loose and squishy gauge, making it lovely to wear and quick to knit.
Sticky Toffee Cardigan is knitted from top down in one piece with raglan construction. The yoke is designed to be quite a bit larger and longer than the actual body measurements to achieve that easy to wear modern look. Sleeves and lower body are quickly done as they are relatively short. The buttonband is worked last, adding a layer of sophistication.
