Spring Daisy Cardigan is a soft and airy cardigan worked in a lightweight mohair blend, creating a delicate halo and a cozy feel. Designed with a slightly oversized fit, balloon-shaped sleeves, and playful contrast details, it is perfect for layering throughout spring and cooler summer days. The cardigan is worked top down with raglan shaping and subtle shoulder shaping with German short rows for a comfortable fit and elegant silhouette.

The pattern is written as a text and is suitable for intermediate knitters.

MATERIALS

or other yarn with similar weight and characteristics.

Optional for ribbed neck edge and hems:
25 g contrast colour yarn for the ribbing and decorative details. As only a small amount of yarn is needed for the yellow and green details, one ball of each colour is sufficient (or if you have leftover yarns). To work with two strands held together, you may pull yarn from both the center and the outside of the ball.
If this is not possible, cut a long strand and use it doubled.
