I decided recently to knit my very first top down cardigan, after a bit of searching on ravelry I came accross Juliet, a lovely, fun, and chunky knit – with enough patterning to keep me occupied whilst still being a quick and easy knit.
You can find the pattern here… http://www.zephyrstyle.com/catalog/item/2367447/4944404.htm
Here is a picture of me in the result – I wear it all the time!
