Rowan Florey from Cape Bay is
a child’s hooded cardigan knit in Softyak DK. This stylish sweater has a
smattering of cables, raglan sleeves, and a deep rib hem that conceals handy
pockets that will be a hit with youngsters. Florey is knit flat in pieces from
the bottom up and then seamed. Rowan Softyak DK is a blend of yak, cotton, and
nylon that has the best of all worlds: the softness of cashmere combined with
durability and washability. The darker yak fibers create a beautiful melange
with the dyed cotton. The cable patterns are in chart form only.
