The Kväll Cardigan by Jessie McKitrick
Inspired by a vintage curling sweater, the Kväll Cardigan is a cozy shawl-collared cardigan accented with contrasting stripes, and featuring good-sized pockets. The unisex cardigan is worked in pieces and seamed, then stitches are picked up and worked to form the buttonband and collar, which is shaped with short rows. The pockets are made by working with waste yarn on the front pieces; this yarn is later removed, the live stitches are placed on needles, and the pocket is worked in the round.
