Knit a timeless cabled sweater with designer, technical editor, and author Tian Connaughton. The beautiful Freeport Cardigan is worked from the bottom up, which is one of Tian’s favorite sweater constructions because there is very little seaming. Begin knitting with the back piece, split for the front pieces, and then pick up stitches for the sleeves. Tian teaches you how to knit cables with a cable needle and without, as well as other essential techniques including a three-needle bind off, a twisted rib stitch, how to knit buttonholes, and how to work in short rows for shaping. You will love the Freeport’s gorgeous textures along with its elongated collar that drapes behind you like a cozy capelet.
