A Nostalgic Honeycomb Sweater
By Nikol Lohr
Inspired by an Atomic-age children's sweater and named after Mad Men's Sally Draper, this playful fitted cardigan with retro styling is surprisingly simple to knit. The three-quarter length sleeves make it a perfect transition sweater for crisp spring or fall days, the angora-blend yarn softens the pattern and adds to the nostalgic feel, and the crocheted buttonholes add to the overall charm.
While the honeycomb pattern looks like complicated colorwork, producing it is actually as easy as knitting stripes! Only one color is carried at a time, with the design achieved by slipping stitches from the previous round's color. (If you're one of the thousands who have knit the Mason-Dixon Knitting dishcloths, you already know the technique.) It is knit seamlessly in the round, so there's no seaming, purling, or complicated float management. Then it's steeked to make the front opening (cutting your knitting is scary but fun!), and a button placket is picked up just inside the cut edges.
