In the words of Sleeping Beauty, “if you dream a thing more than once, it’s sure to come true.” A cardigan perfect for every modern-day fairy tale, the Enchanted Cardi is a seamless V-neck cardigan worked from the top down in a modified tuck stitch rib pattern. It has shapely lines throughout to add dimension and accentuate all bodies. German short rows are used to create a linear effect along the shoulders. There are choices for long and short puff sleeves or short cap sleeves, along with an applied front and neck edging with an option for buttonholes. This cardigan is perfect for bridging the gap between the dream world and real life.
