Anne Ventzel Badger and Bloom

BADGER AND BLOOM is a soft and warm sweater that is worked from the top down. An Italian cast-on is worked at the neck edge, which is followed by a twisted rib edge and a circular yoke worked in a charted stranded pattern. Short rows are worked before the yoke is divided for body and sleeves to create roominess and a good fit.

The stranded pattern is worked from the right side only, so this design is a good project for a knitter without much experience with stranded knitting.
