No Rules Cardigan
No Rules cardigan is a classic style and a great option to use up odds and ends from your stash.
It is knitted top down with a saddle shoulder, crew neckline and shaped body that nips in at the waist.
The samples are a cropped style but a longer version would work well too and have the added bonus of using up even more of your left over yarn!
The fun thing about No Rules Cardigan is that it can be knitted with many colours randomly placed, or if you prefer, you can simply use 2 or 3 colours and structure the stripes in a more ordered way.
There are no rules with this cute and useful cardigan!!
