Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Summer 2005: “A ribbed pattern worked in five sunny colors makes a close-fitting, breezy cardigan. The front edges are finished with a simple rolled edging, and knitted ties eliminate the need to measure and plan for buttonholes. As you work the stripes, take the time to carry the yarns not in use up the selvedge edge. Though carrying takes a little patience, in the long run you’ll be glad you made the effort - when it’s time to weave in the ends, you’ll only have a few to deal with.”
