Wildhorse
Simplicity and squishy garter stitch combine to make the coziest cardigan you will ever knit. Effortless columns of garter stitch worked along the raglan lines are mirrored in the garter rib stitch worked at the sleeve cuffs and hem. A generous garter stitch collar is perfect for snuggling into on cold days. Wildhorse is knit seamlessly from the top down.
Wildhorse uses German Short Rows to shape the shawl collar. You can find a video tutorial of the technique on my YouTube channel here.
