Brass Tacks Cardigan

Please note that this listing is for a PDF knitting pattern and not the finished garment. I have always loved brass tacks. They are heavy and sturdy. They symbolize excellency and the enduring quality of something well made. Like a timeless leather chair that never goes out of style, this sweater contains all the elements of a well-worn basic, with crisp details and a modern fit. Pattern Notes Brass Tacks is a top down, round yoke cardigan with easy stockinette in the body and graduated twisted rib details at the hem and cuffs. The button bands are also worked in twisted rib.
