Salmon Red Cotton Cardigan with Colorwork and Beads

Robbins, Whit

Ca. 1990s

Length 20.75", Width 21", Cuff to Cuff 55"

This hand knit cotton cardigan was a challenging project to make, featuring bold color work patterns in Fair Isle and intarsia, with textured stitches and beads. I have really loved it, and have worn it frequently. I wore it when the knitting designer, Kaffe Fassett, visited the Atlanta History Center. I do not recall the source of the pattern at this time. The yarn is DK weight.
