Chickens Cardigan

Hand Knitted by Gena Greene

In real life the sweater is a bright, glossy, Christmas-y green. (It would be easier to wear year-round if it were the color I'm seeing on this computer.)

Size: 34-36" bustline, 5'3"-5'6"

Material: base yarn acrylic, contrast colors mixed

Care: machine wash and dry

Credits: "This is a version of the famous Chickens Cardigan from Maine Island Classics by Chellie Pingree and Debby Anderson. Since I used a slightly lighter yarn, and the armholes on these sweaters tended to be designed for slim people anyway, I widened the armholes and dropped the shoulder line. There aren't any more of those buttons--someone insisted on them, then didn't buy the sweater presumably because three buttons weren't enough. I can substitute plain buttons for an extra $5."
