Product description

Sethera is a classic “grandpa-style” cardigan with lots of modern twists. The colorful stitch motif, which is worked flat, offers an endless array of choices in Shelter yarn with its rich, varied palette. Made with woolen-spun 100% Targhee-Columbia wool, Shelter creates a rugged yet soft fabric that knits up fast while staying lightweight and bouncy. With minimal shaping and slim dropped sleeves, Sethera is an ideal layering piece. 

Sethera is worked flat in one piece to the armholes. Fronts and back are then divided and worked separately to the shoulders, which are joined with an exposed Joinery Bind Off. The slender drop sleeves are knit flat from the cuff up and seamed. The simple colorwork motif is designed for easy back-and-forth knitting.
