While many did a deep dive into sourdough bread baking during quarantine, Julie dove into cables! She wanted ALL the cables, ALL the time - no filler stitch pattern here! The result is Quinn, with over-the-top cables and a relaxed, easy shape. The cables keep things moving along and, once established, are pretty easy to memorize, making Quinn a fun knit, with just the right amount of adventure. The shoulders are sloped to avoid a too-boxy fit, but there is no shaping in the body, streamlining both the knitting and the wearing. The resulting cardigan looks impressive but gives up nothing in comfort!

Note: The cardigan is intended to be worn oversized with approximately 8-10" / 20-25 cm ease around the bust; however, choose a size based on your personal fit preference.
