The Circle Leaf V-Neck Cardigan is a gorgeous, lightweight layer that combines style and comfort in the most flattering way. Worked in the textured Circle Leaf Stitch, it has a V-neck that suits every body and a front tie so you can wear it open or closed.

It’s part of the Circle Leaf collection of video supported, size inclusive garments. These patterns look complex, but they’re a breeze to follow, even if you’ve never made a garment before.
