Goro Cardigan Pattern
Goro is a cropped cardigan with wide ribbing at the bottom (but could easily be knit to whatever length you would like). Knit with Barrett Wool Co Home Worsted, so it knits up quickly. Knit in the round, bottom-up, with a steek and a vertical button band. I chose to knit this cardigan in Marmalade (the perfect orange) and Picket Fence (don’t you just love the names?) I’ve worn this cardi year round (in the summer in the mountains) over dresses, jeans, with skirts and overalls. I love the fit. Wear with a 4-inch positive ease.
