As soon as the Side to Side Cardigan sample came into the shop a couple of months ago, it became the new "must knit" project for summer. In fact, our shop mannequin (LOLA!) is currently modeling it as I write this, and as she normally hangs out right by the front door, she's been getting noticed A LOT in this top. And noticed by people of all ages, shapes and sizes!
Just a couple of weeks ago we had a gal in her early 20’s who had to knit this top. She was in with her grandmother, who decided that she’d make one, too. And today we had a woman in her 30's buy yarn to make it, and another in her 50's. See? ALL ages!
I think the fact that it is knit with the Tahki Cotton Classic really appeals to a lot of people. The colors of that yarn are amazing. And it's SO soft. Though it’s knit double stranded, it’s got a really nice feel and drape.
This sweater is such a classic style and shape that it really looks good on all body types. You can dress it down with a tank and jeans, or you can wear it to a wedding with a cute summer dress and a long necklace; the choice is yours!
I've been thinking about knitting this since I first saw it in the book. Now, this "Ol' Grammy" is going to go for it! Big color decision ahead.
