The Cuddly Cardigan is a lightweight yet super warm and cozy cardigan, like a soft alpaca cuddle you can wear :)

The cardigan is worked top down flat, with raglan increases, starting at the button (or buttonless) band. The body & sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch, with a 1 x 1 ribbing at the hem, cuffs & button(less) bands.
The Cuddly Cardigan is designed with a 20 – 35 cm / 8 – 14” positive ease.
The purple sample is made in size 2 & the pink sample is made in size 1. My bust is approx. 80 cm / 31½”.
