Halyard
Introducing the Halyard Cardigan, a stunning stockinette cardigan that combines clever design details with cozy comfort, making it a must-have piece for every knitter's wardrobe. This handsome cardigan features oversized ribbing and a subtly textured fabric that beautifully showcases the nuanced color variations of the Hinterland Range yarn. The construction includes working the body and raglan sleeves in separate pieces with minimal shaping, which are then seamed together to provide a defined and flattering silhouette. The versatile collar can be picked up and knitted after assembly, offering two stylish options: wear it flat for a classic look or button it up to create a snug cowl, perfect for keeping warm against the cool breezes of ocean mists.
