Marled Seed Stitch Cardi is a relaxed, open-front cardigan worked top down in chunky seed stitch with two strands of DK or worsted yarn held together.

The cardi features dropped shoulders, marled stripes, oversized balloon sleeves, inset pockets, and slip-stitch crochet front edging. A true stash busting project!
