Kardia means Heart in Greek.

The Kardia Cardigan is a wearable work of art. Worked in an off-white base with bursts of variegated color, this heart stitch crochet cardigan is perfect for colorful spring days, summer festivals and everything in between. Bold enough to turn heads at an outdoor concert, cozy enough for a picnic in the park, a Sunday brunch or a weekend away — this is the statement piece you will want to wear everywhere. More straightforward to make than it looks — you will be surprised how quickly it comes together.
