A wide collar knit in a subtle gradient of beautiful grays takes center stage in this elegantly striking cardigan. The reversible textured stitch pattern makes the collar pop against the stockinette-stitch body. Waist shaping and set-in sleeves lend a tailored vibe.

NOTES
• The Gray-scale Cardigan is worked from the bottom up in one piece. The body and sleeves are worked separately to the underarm, then joined together and worked as one to shape the upper body, sleeve caps, and shoulders. The collar is worked at the same time as the body for minimal seaming. Make sure to twist your MC and CC strands around each other when changing colors to avoid a hole.
• You’ll be working from two balls of yarn for the collar, one on each side of the front. If you want the collar fronts to match exactly, start at the same point in the color gradient or shift for each CO edge of the collar.
• Placing the toggles closer or farther away from the front edges will change the bust circumference.
