Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2008: “Softly speckled in variegated ‘Miss Priss’ from the Schaefer Yarn Company, Newton’s cabled-yoke cardigan is anything but. It merely leaves a bit more to the imagination, with its smoldering shade, tantalizing scoop neck and flowing A-line body - knit as one piece to the yoke. The yoke is worked side to side, sewn on and picked up for the cabled0rib neck edging.”

“Oversized cardigan with allover cable patterns, and a cabled yoke.”
