Linda Permann's Peanut Butter cardigan had me at "hello." After drooling over the garment for several minutes (don't worry, I wiped it off), I knew I had to have one for myself. The bottom of the cardigan is knit horizontally and then stitches are picked up along the top edge for the bodice. Lots of picked up stitches make this garment look clean and seamless. The lattice cable pattern on the bodice not only makes this sweater cute, but also nice and fitted. You'll find endless tops and dresses to layer this cardigan over.
