Valley Yarns Kingfisher is a magnificent women’s
open-front cardigan that is perfectly cozy on cooler days knit in Becket.
Kingfisher features a plush shawl collar, cabled front on an easy reverse stockinette
background. The cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up to the
armholes. A bold cable is worked up each front panel, and a single cable is
worked up the center back. The cable patterns are charted and written out.
