It is just a run of the mill top-down raglan cardigan.&nbsp; It does, however, have some interesting design elements, such as the i-cord in the front band and the little afterthought pockets. I also learned how to do a tubular bind-off.&nbsp; I tried doing a regular bind-off but it didn&#8217;t look as neat and this one is stretchier.&nbsp; It is quite fussy and takes more time to set up and do but it does seem to be worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like the yarn though, it is scratchy and grabby.&nbsp; It sticks to itself and is torture to knit with, my only consolation is that I do love the sweater itself to keep going.&nbsp; If I didn&#8217;t I would have trashed it a long time ago. I still have half a sleeve and a pocket to knit so I am going to leave you and go do it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the yarn reminds you of one of your favorite grains, that is what you call it.&nbsp; So this my friends is my Freekeh Cardigan.&nbsp; The pattern is Cloud Bay which I am loving so far.&nbsp; The design is quite simple.
