This designer has a soft spot for the textured "ribbed" pattern stitch used in this cardigan. Years ago, her mother used the pattern to crochet a cardigan for her brother. But the pattern appealed to Norah for other reasons as well: Its ridged surface resembles knitted fabric in look and drape, and it's an easy pattern to work once you get used to it. The asymmetric closure and oversized collar give the sweater a retro edge, and the soft wool/cotton yarn makes it comfortable to wear in any season.
