This is the cardigan of my dreams! It has been a design in the making for over 4 years. When I found this yarn it was the perfect combination for the pattern.

The pattern is very simple and worked flat. You will work the back panel and front panels separately, seam it together then pick up for the sleeves in the round. Finally you will pick up for the amazing shawl collar. This pattern is sure to be your go to favourite in your closet.
