A customer brought this cardigan to our attention. She saw it in O magazine for $475 and asked if we could write a pattern for it. Another customer saw it on the TV program Lipstick Jungle.   We immediately thought of Twinkles - Soft Chunky from Classic Elite. It has become a favorite with our customers.   It is not a very difficult cardigan to knit and some of our new knitters did not have any problem with it.   The only reason it has    is because there is a little short row knitting technique. The instructions are very clear and each row is explained.
