✨Presenting my Contrast Cardi!✨

This cropped cardigan is just lightweight enough to be a transition piece from the summer to the rainy season. Inspired by trendy cardigans from Pinterest~

I used 2 skeins of Gantsilyo Guru’s Light Cashmere Blend which is a really soft grade 3 yarn. Though I think any yarn that fits the gauge would work! For reference, I used up about 307 yards of my main color and 108 yards of my contrast color.

I based this design off of Safire by Hillary Smith Callis which is a free pattern here on Ravelry. This pattern is done in stockinette stitch with 2x2 ribbing. It is worked top-down and uses raglan increases to shape the shoulders. The YO buttonholes are referenced from this video which shows you how to do it step-by-step.
