Classic Cardis

My friend has just had her baby. I am so thrilled for her, and her husband. I've enjoyed knitting this cardi - the pattern book was published in 1995. 

This is one of the pattern books from my late friend Brenda's collection. This design has three bands of different stitch work across the front. The sleeves were supposed be done in the same style- but it looked too fussy, so I stuck to simple stocking stitch. George looks a cool dude in the jacket I knitted in March [Another of Brenda's patterns]
