Like a cyclamen in the snow, this cardigan is a herald of spring. Cyclamen is a top-down, raglan cardigan with garter-stitch trim worked in worsted- or aran-weight yarn. It is designed to be a great first cardigan for the beginner or a blank slate for more experienced knitters to alter.
Cyclamen features a knit-as-you-go buttonband so there is no need to pick up sts later and add the band. I sewed large snap fasteners onto the band after it was finished, but it could be secured with a beautiful shawl pin, or left open.
