The Leith Cardigan allows you to play with colour, texture and stripes in a wearable, cosy way!
The cardigan is a drop-shoulder, relaxed fit worked from the bottom up with a doubleknit buttonband. The magic in this cardigan comes from the intarsia division down the back that lets you play with colour blocking and stripes. Two colours, five colours, different textures. The pattern offers endless options.

Yarn
This pattern is knit in a DK-aran weight yarn. The samples in pastel and red/lilac are both knit in a combination of Cascade 220 and Filcolana Peruvian Highland Wool. The off-white sample is knit with Drops Alpaca Boucle and Drops Pima held with Drop Kidsilk mohair.
The ratio of MC to CC(s) varies based on the striping sequence you use, but is approx. 55% MC to 45% CC. See tester project pages for more info on each size.
