DESCRIPTION
The Versatile Duster Cardigan is another design in my Scrappy Collection. The patterns in this Collection have been specifically designed to use up all those part balls that are in your stash.

There are so many different options for this cardigan, hence the name “versatile.” It can be made hip length, mid-thigh, or long. It can be sleeveless like a vest, have 3/4 sleeves with or without fringe or long sleeves for extra coziness. It can be made with or without pockets. And if you are a belt lover, the pattern includes instructions for that too.

There are so many different colour combinations to use. You are only limited by your own imagination and your stash. The pattern includes a colour planner so you can plan out where you want your colours and some colour selecting tips so you end up with a pleasing combination…but it seems you can’t go wrong with colours combos. They all seem to go together.

This is the kind of pattern you want in your library as it can be made in so many different ways and each version will look totally different.
