To celebrate a Finland holiday, this pattern is an ode to the wonderful fabric design of Marimekko. Their colorful designs invoke the spirit of the 1960s and 1970s. A stranded design, these rows of colorful dots make for a happy and varied look for a classically shaped cardigan, knit bottom-up and with the reverse contiguous shaping.
