second image shows a super beautiful Maria Alam featured in Judit Gummlichs new book EMBROIDERY on knits, published by Laine magazine

this cardigan combines all of my favorites:
plain Stockinette Stitch, stripes and clean lines.
the use of this beautiful and soft yarn results in a light weight
cardigan that is suited for any season and perfect for layering.

Marsa Alam is worked seamlessly from the top down using
a kind of combination of contiguous set-in-sleeves method
developed by SusieM and saddle shoulder,
so you always can try the cardi on and see how it fits.
