Knit flat in one piece to the underarms, each row of the main body is worked using just one color with stitches of the other color slipped along the way to create a nubbly mosaic motif reminiscent of Portland’s many bridges. Slightly sloping shoulders and no body shaping make Normandale an excellent cardigan for wearers of any gender. A shawl collar worked in brioche stitch adds extra oomph to this standout design.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: the stitch patterns used for this garment are charted only.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe body is worked flat in one piece to the underarms, then fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders.
