Dark and Stormy

$8.00

An updated version of the shawl collared cardigans from the 1940s/50s worn by male movie stars or a favorite grandpa. Dark and Stormy is a more modern take on that classic. New and interesting cables, a fit that skims your curves and ends where your jeans start, and a gorgeous variegated yarn add a little twist to the original. Cables are both charted and written. Sweater is worked seamlessly, from the top down in one piece. Collar is picked up and worked last.
