This cardigan is my own design, with the addition of a stranded/intarsia yoke that used a modification of Kaffe Fassett's chart called "Peacock Spots". The sweater was originally 4 1/2 inches longer. I shortened it this week and added a new bottom ribbing. It fits and looks much better, now. The yarn is a combination of left-over Caron Simply Soft and some unlabeled bargain yarn from the Bemidji Woolen Mill. The buttons are special. My daughter gave them to me as a gift. They are reconstructed "Pilgrim" buttons that originated in the Middle Ages.
