JENNIE ATKINSON has used a distinctive horizontal rib pattern for her cardigan, which has a cropped body, a deep cowl collar, and asymmetric button bands. The body is worked in one piece, then the sleeves and body are joined to work the yoke and collar. It’s knitted in UK Alpaca’s Superfine Alpaca DK, a soft and lofty blend of alpaca and wool which has a gorgeous handle.
