The Starry Night Cardigan is a relaxed cocoon-style piece made from simple square motifs. The gradient yarn creates soft color transitions as you work, so each square feels a little different. It’s an easy, enjoyable project with a calm rhythm, and the finished cardigan has a comfortable, slightly oversized fit that’s perfect for everyday wear.

Cardigan made from square motifs using gradient yarn. Motifs are joined into a rectangle, then folded and seamed to form the garment.
