Pattern
How about a cardigan sweater with a few design features and knitting techniques that will make knitting it a pleasure and wearing it an even greater delight. This is a top-down pattern with no seams. It incorporates an elegant invisible raglan seam increase with hems on the cuff and the body, versus ribbing, which magically require no sewing. The peek of color inside the pockets is echoed in the subtle trim along the button placket providing the finishing touch. It can dress up a pair of jeans or take the place of a sport coat. How’s that for versatile?
Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t worry. Here’s a free, printable PDF of top-down knitting instructions.
Yarn
Euroflax Sport - 100% Linen – Sport Weight
This sport weight linen yarn is wet spun from flax-fiber. Exceptional softness is achieved by fine splitting the long fibers and double boiling the yarn. Machine wash on gentle cycle using a non-bleach, mild soap. Dry in your dryer on a medium setting for 15 minutes, then lay flat to finish. For an even softer result, dry completely in the dryer. To enhance the sheen of the yarn, steam with a steam iron.
The on-screen color representations for yarn may not be precise representations of actual colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.
Gauge
22 sts and 32 rows = 4"/10cm, washed and blocked.

Pattern
Madison is a modern take on the classic tattersall patterned vest, complete with an adjustable waist band on the back. It is worked top down, with a provisional cast on joining the shoulders. The vertical tattersall stripes are added in crochet.
Yarn
Ecopuno – 72% Cotton, 17% Merino, 11% Alpaca – DK weight
Ecopuno Tweed – 61% Cotton, 15% Poly, 14% Alpaca, 10% Wool – DK Weight
Both yarns are a remarkable blend of alpaca and soft wool wrapped with micro threads of cotton. They have the elasticity and bounce of animal fibers. Yet, they’re mostly cotton – almost unbelievable. So, if in the past you have not enjoyed working with cotton, these yarns will surely change your mind.
