Season of Sweaters: Winter Sweater

The final pattern in our year long series is a stunning cabled cardigan. Quite possibly one of Kate's favorite designs to date (really!), the Winter Sweater is a cozy, comfy, cardigan filled with cables and texture. Knit in our brand-spankin'-new yarn, Erin, this sweater is a warm and hard-wearing as it is cozy.
