Amadou Cardigan
Description
Amadou is the French name of a mushroom growing on tree trunks that can be
used as a starter for lighting a fire.
Warm and cozy, the cardigan could be worn as a layering piece, almost like a coat,
for chilly autumnal mornings or evenings.
It has a generous amount of ease at the bust and arms, so choose a size based on how you’d like to wear your cardigan.
Two length options are available in the pattern.
