When I went to cheer on my daughter who was running the London
Marathon, I needed to make a cardigan which would make me stand out from the crowd so she could spot me! Her favourite colour is pink so it had to be a pink cardigan.
I already had my eye on this filet flower design and I was itching to use it. So a quick calculation and ‘Venice’ cardigan system refresh later, I started this cardigan. We build it the same way we did the Venice cardigan as it is a very quick way to make a cardigan, and also my favourite way. Made in a cotton/acrylic mix it is the perfect summer cardigan, you can make it longer or even shorter depending on your preference.
You can use any DK yarn cotton, a mix of cotton and acrylic or wool or acrylic
