 It's no secret that we adore a classic cabled cardigan, and this warm, snuggly entry from longtime Friend of the Flock Thea Colman is as much of a joy to knit as it is to wear. Worked in one piece from hem to armhole and then divided for fronts and back, with top down sleeves, Angel's Envy is a shawl collared delight that takes advantage of Forge's wonderful balance of softness and stitch definition.

A note: Angel's Envy is available as a digital download and a yarn+pattern bundle here at H+W.com, but 100% of pattern sales revenue goes directly to the designer, just as if you bought the pattern directly from their website or on Ravelry. We think this way, everybody wins: you get an easier, more straightforward experience as a consumer, our indie designer friends get to realize the maximum revenue from their work, and you get another great way to access new designs in our yarn outside of our pattern collections.
