If you’re craving a knit cardi this winter, this is the project for you! Inspired by the beloved child-sized Eloise Cardi, this cardi incorporates some of the season’s hottest trends, including the open front with a single button closure, cropped sleeves and beautiful shaping at the neck and shoulders. Make both versions for a sweet mommy and me set. (Lion Brand Yarn)
