We've been hearing requests for a more sophisticated, grown up version of our Two Color Cardigan, and so Echo, the next pattern we have to share from the new Shibui Heichi, was born. Knit with 4 - 6 skeins of each color cuff to center, and joined with a 3-needle bind off at the back seam, this gorgeous sweater is deceptively simply constructed.

It's hard to tell in these particular photos, but the front has a relaxed v-neck opening shaped with short rows and utilizing the yarn over short row technique. While I love the tonal greys, I can imagine some really beautiful versions of this sweater done up in some of the other colorways. Canal and Fountain would be absolutely gorgeous, and I'd love to see Lichen and Greenspace. This is a piece that could find a home in so many wardrobes!

I love this sweater layered over a button up as pictured, or just on its own with a pair of jeans. If you'd like to take a closer look the pattern is now up on Ravelry!
