The Blossom Cardigan is a lovely, flared cardigan done two ways! The top-down version features seamless set-in sleeves picked up and knit down from the armhole and is easier to alter to fit your own measurements. The bottom-up version is a more traditional construction and has seamed sleeves but still features short-rowed shoulders for a flowing, seamless look.
