Meet the Sunbeam Stripe Cardi! This sweater is another fantastic first sweater option! Let your creative spirit run wild with the Sunbeam Stripe Cardi. There is no wrong way to knit this one! It’s all about mixing yarns, colors and textures in a way that resonates with you and makes you feel free as you knit. Did we mention that it’s a whole lot of fun too?! The Cardi is created by working sideways from cuff to cuff. You’ll need one skein of our Spun Cloud for the cuff, neck, bottom and front ribbings. The rest is all the main color Spun Cloud, Wildflower Mini Kits and Mini Skein Sampler Kits. Have fun mixing colors and making it your own!
