This classic cardigan will be a timeless addition to your wardrobe. Color blocking adds visual interest to a highly textured fabric. Small details such as a shaped neckband and garter-stitch ridges between the edges and the main body of the sweater make this piece particularly special. Set-in sleeves and waist shaping contribute to the fitted silhouette.

Page 51: Gauge needle should be US #6/4 mm, not US #7/4.5 mm.
Page 52: Under Hem, after completing ribbing, knit 3 rows instead of 4. Change to MC and knit 1 RS row. Continue to Set-up row.
Page 53: Under Shape Bust, work 13 rows even, not 14 rows so that the increase takes place on a RS row.
Page 54: “Crossover Stitch Pattern” chart should be “Textured Pattern.“
Page 55: After “Next Row” is complete (you’ve bound off the neck and have 14 (15, 15, 17, 16, 17) stitches left for each shoulder), the next section should read:
