Slanted Ladders
Slanted ladders is the perfect cool weather cardigan. Just enough to keep the chill away, but not too warm to wear on a summer day. I’ve designed and named it after my favorite beer at our local brewery, Grove Roots. If you ever find yourself in Winter Haven, Florida, I highly recommend a visit and swing by Four Purls Yarn Shop to show me your cardigan!
