Come to the dark side.

Varjo is the dark side of Valo and Varjo duo. It’s a squishy cardigan with gorgeous cables, broken rib and an interesting construction. Varjo starts off with provisional cast-on at the back of the neck for the shawl collar and then, at the shoulders but there is no need for short row shaping on the shoulders as decreases at the back will pull them in place. The front doesn’t need any shaping. The cardigan has long sleeves.
