Kate Oates Eaves is a fabulous boxy, graphic drop-sleeve
women’s cardigan that is engineered from the top down with steeked front and armholes.
The sleeves are picked up and knit from the armhole steek, and the color is
worked in one piece at the center front opening. The hem ribbing is accentuated
with a lovely cable. Sleeve cuffs are extra long for a folded layer of bonus
cozy. The colorwork patterns are in chart form only.
