Heather Dixon of Army of Knitter shares her
inspiration for her Mink Hollow Cardi..."This yarn
begged me to knit it into something with fabulous drape. Starting with
the center back cable, stitches are picked up for each side and worked
in one piece around to the front edges. Sleeves are worked down from
live stitches and finished with a super-simple lace trim to match the
fronts. Wear open and flowy or use a shawl pin to close the fronts at
the shoulder or waist. The perfect cardi for sultry, Summer nights."
