Desperate Housewife

A treat for your wild and wonderful side, this slouchy, grandpa-fit cardigan is the perfect project to knit in those stray moments you steal away for yourself.

The sample is made in Alpaca Heather from Manos del Uruguay, a lovely yarn with plenty of character that comes in a rainbow of beautiful shades. Or, bring this sweater to life using leftover skeins you’ve been saving from past projects.

Desperate Housewife is a top-down, one-piece cardigan with a circular yoke, ideal for lounging or throwing on for a splash of color when you run errands.
