The Aesoon Cardigan was inspired by large floral wallpaper and the image of a country girl’s room from an old American film. It’s a lovely colorwork cardigan with floral and ribbon details.

DETAILS
This cardigan is worked from the bottom up using the steek technique. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, then joined to the body for the yoke colorwork. The sleeve cuffs are finished with a cute, scalloped folded hem.
