Debbie Bliss Man’s Classic Cardigan is a simple but must-have sweater knit in Rialto DK that showcases a v-neck and set-in sleeves. The knit-in pockets and sloped shoulders smooth out the look, preventing any hint of bulkiness. The sweater is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Debbie Bliss Rialto is an extra-fine Merino that is a dream to work with.

Tell us what you think about it.
I was looking for a simple classic cardigan pattern for my husband. I'm only about half way through, but I really like how it is turning out. The directions are easy enough to follow. I am using a DK weight cotton/merino yarn. The only adjustment I've made is to the bottom ribbing. I used the same size needle as the body of the sweater to give it a straighter profile. So far so good.
