Katie just finished the Skinny Cardigan — look how beautiful! The pattern is a design from Blue Sky Alpacas and it uses their new DK weight cotton, Skinny Cotton yarn.

This cardigan is a wonderful transition garment. It’s a classic shape knit in a light cotton, which makes it great for spring, summer, and fall. The stripes are also classic, I think a blue and cream version would be –very- Ralph Lauren. We’ve got Skinny Cotton in 10 great colors, so there are many possibilities!

What I like most about this pattern is the 5×1 rib that runs down the body of the cardigan. Not only does it break up the horizontal stripes, but it allows the garment to follow the shape of your body.

If you’re already looking ahead to next winter, the you could also knit this in Blue Sky Alpacas’ Sport Weight or Melange yarns.
