It was this beautiful, white, soft, thick yarn what immediately appealed to me when I held it in my hands. The butterfly pattern really comes into its own here.
Many Thanks to Paul from Pascuali who supported me with this design.

The cardigan is knit from top to bottom. You start with the neckband, which should be knit-ted with a smaller needle so that it retains stability after long wear.
Then the back yoke is worked and then the front yoke. After the height of the arm is reached is closed to the round. The body follows. For the sleeves, pick up stitches along the edge for the armholes and knit the arm ball with short rows.
The pattern uses three different ways of short rows.
