Drop Dead Red Cardigan Sweater

I designed and knitted this sweater.  It was completed on November 22, 2013

 

 

I love red and I never have too many red sweaters.  I knitted this one from the bottom up.  I knitted the sleeves in the round, then knitted them onto the body.  A short distance up from the armholes, I started the yoke. 

 

I knitted most of the sweater in Caron Simply Soft - Red with some CSS Autumn Red.  I knitted some of the yoke with two strands of CSS with some Yarn Bee Decadence - Ruby Dream and Bernat Eyelash - Lipstick.  These yarns were some I had purchased on various sales and were available in my stash.  They added texture and style to the yoke, or at least I like to think so.

 

 

 

 

The buttons start at the bottom and end at the yoke.

 

 

 

 

I plan to get a lot of wear out of this sweater during the holidays!
