BabyCocktails Brown Derby is a must-have cardigan knit in a
worsted weight yarn. The sweater features a deep V-neckline, dropped shoulders,
long sleeves, and lots of textures. There are thick ribs, bold braids, and
panels of textured garter stitch with a stunning back shoulder shaping. Brown
Derby is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms. Once the
shoulders are seamed, the sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge
and worked in the round to the cuffs. The cable pattern is charted and
written out.
