Chamfer Cardigan

This cozy cardigan is worked on the bias in a mix of cables and twisted stitches. The diagonal nature of the construction gives movement and interest to the stitchwork. The sweater shape is boxy with drop shoulder construction, which brings focus to the stitchwork. The alpaca content of Dos Tierras gives a lovely drape to the finished sweater.
