1568 Colleen Cardigan

Description

We showcased the color stripes within the yarn by working the lower bands on the diagonal. The band at lower back is worked side-to-side, with the diagonal shaping reversing at the center back by the use of short rows. The collar is worked as you go, and the top one inch at back of shoulders is worked in Garter stitch so there is no finishing to be done (no neckband, no front band or collar to add).
