The Colorwork Cardigan pairs two different Noro Silk Garden colors - analogous colorways with contrasting values - for its stranded colorwork body and corrugated rib trims. It’s worked in the round, with shaping for the V neckline, and steeked to keep the color graduations symmetrical. The neckband is picked up and knit from the steeked edges.
