Just Peachy Cardigan

This pattern is part of the Garter Stitch Revival book (Interweave Press, 2017)

A classic top−down cardigan gets a fresh look when knit in a vibrant peach yarn with saddle shoulders. Garter stitch cuffs, plackets, and waistband contrast nicely with the smooth stockinette stitch fabric. Subtle waist shaping and set−in sleeves make for a flattering fit.
