This sweater was knit in three days when I was desperately in need of a cardigan to wear to a wedding— hence the name. A slightly oversized, yet classic cardigan with a deep and elegant v-neck, this sweater is knit from the bottom up. The sleeves and buttonband feature an i-cord edge for a neat, feminine finish. I used leftover yarn to embroider flowers along the sleeves for a delicate look.
