Dandelion Cardigan by Ursalia Fibres Studio

This sweater is inspired by the beauty of pressed flowers and the delightfully airy look of dandelion seeds before they get blown away. You can snuggle up in the Dandelion Cardigan on the perfect day out with your favourite person, head out on your own adventure, or spend the day in with your favourite show; no matter what your day brings you, you’ll be wearing the perfect sweater to keep you happy! This cardigan features rows of flowers that alternate with slipped stitches for an easy-to-knit but delightfully textured project.

Notes
-The sweater is worked back and forth in one piece, from the top down. Stitches are then cast on using a provisional method to work the button band before finishing the body using an i-Cord Cast-off. Take care when working the Body Chart or written form of chart. After Rows 3 and 14 (CC), slide all stitches to the opposite end of the circular needles. Work resumes with MC, working across the right side for a second time.
-For reading charts worked back and forth in rows, right-side rows are read from right to left, and wrong-side rows are read from left to right.
