Budding now comes with a French translation thanks to Adalaria.

Budding is a joyous cardigan worked seamlessly top-down. The cardigan has a round yoke with a beautiful colorwork pattern. The cardigan has long sleeves and a cropped hem. Budding has positive ease yet a close-fitting hem ribbing at the natural waist making it comfortable and stylish at the same time. The cardigan is worked in the round and cut open at once finished. The pattern can easily be modified into a sweater by omitting the steek.
