Sethera
Designed by Norah Gaughan for Brooklyn Tweed, Sethera is that classic “grandpa-style” cardigan but with a few modern touches. The colorful stitch motif, which is worked flat, offers an endless array of choices in Brooklyn Tweed’s Shelter, and minimal shaping and slim dropped sleeves make Sethera an ideal layering piece. Worked flat to the arms then divided for front and back, stitches are picked up for the front edges and neckband. Brooklyn Tweed considers this pattern a level 4 out of 5 in difficulty and offers it as a hard copy only. For more information about materials, gauge, and size, please click Product Details, above.
