Wave Catcher: Knitted with worsted yarn, this unisex top-down cardigan is the perfect addition for any season!
The matching hat is also available.

This project is perfect to destash (hello little skeins!), to make a rainbow sweater, gradient sweater, etc. Lots of possibilities!

Body is knitted flat and sleeves are knitted in the round. Seamless! Stitches are then picked up to knit the rib edges.
Instructions are given for 1 main colour (MC) and 1 contrast colour (CC) but you can use as many colours as you wish.
