An easy fitting, drop shoulder, multi colored cardigan, originally knit on the double bed.
Richeline is a soft yarn that resembles mohair. This is a lightweight but warm sweater. The entire sweater is done on the ribber in full needle rib tuck stitch, using a punchcard (included in the pattern).

For those of you who find doing a whole sweater on the ribber a bit too adverturesome, the same punchcard can be used to do a tuck stitch on the mainbed only.  However, your gauge will be completely different and you will have to recalculate the pattern according to your gauge.

A yarn changer would certainly be most helpful when knitting this design.  It could also be done in a solid color.  The sweater is very roomy and easy fitting. It has dropped shoulder styling and a shawl collar.
