Thanks to Cabin Fever for permission to use their photos of this lovely sweater! The “Braids” cardigan is designed for worsted-weight yarn, and the “Summer Braids” for DK weight. Both patterns include a wide variety of sizes (up to 54-56” finished bust), and help will be available on the Ample-Knitters list for those needing larger sweaters. Patterns and kits are available directly from Cabin Fever.

For hints & tips on various aspects of knitting this sweater, generously provided by Deb and Lynda Gemmell from Cabin Fever, and collected on the Ample-Knitters List, see the Braids Hints page.
