The Fibre Co. Hodgsons Joy, designed by Sarah Hatton, is a pretty cardigan showcasing shifting bands of texture. Knitted in Lore, it is a lightweight yet warm layering piece that will take the chill off Wintery days. The cardigan is worked in one piece from the hem to the armholes, then the fronts and back are worked separately. The sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up and set into the armholes.
