Beech - a favourite of Marie Wallin because it's so lovely to wear - features narrow back neck shaping to make the fronts of the cardigan drape in a flattering way. The garment is interesting to knit as the main body is worked by picking up stitches from the side edge of the cabled bottom section. Five sizes are available to fit chest sizes ranging from 81-86cm (32-34in) to 122-127cm (48-50in).
