Right and left halves of the cardigan are picked up from the outer edges of the center panel and worked outwards.

Nothing ordinary about this cardigan! From not-quite-moss stitch and unexpected Fool's Welt stitch to cables with lacy, empty centers, hidden pockets and a somewhat center-out construction, surprising details abound in Bouldering. Worked at a relatively loose gauge on large needles, this oversized V-neck cardigan will be done in a flash and keep you cozy all fall, winter, and spring. Shown here in Aran weight Osprey color Kumlien’s Gull, this cardigan is sure to be the statement piece of the season—no matter the colorway you choose!
