I’m so excited to host the Old Fashioned-along! The official knit-along for the Old Fashioned cardigan. Want to join on the fun? All the details can be found in my Ravelry group.

The Old Fashioned is the cardigan version of the Single Malt sweater. It has a top-down raglan construction with an easy to memorize motifs knitted in Aran weight. A super quick and fun to knit and perfect for the whisky lover in your life!

Are you coming to Rhinebeck this year and knitting this for your partner? Then bring your husband and his newly knitted cardigan for a special meet-up on the hill Saturday, October 19!

You can find the yarn at boutiquelesgarcons.com.
