Pascal features a woodsy three-color motif that is enjoyable for stranded colorwork knitters of all levels — chunky, woolen-spun Quarry makes this cardigan an especially approachable project for those new to steeking. Seamless raglan construction from the bottom up makes Pascal additionally well suited to act as an adventurous guide into the wonderful world of garment knitting. Construction The body and sleeves are worked circularly from the bottom up and joined at the underarms, then the yoke is worked in the round. Both the body and the yoke are shaped using Short Rows: Wrap and Turn Method. A steek is used to create the front opening.
