Blooming Peerie Cardigan is a whimsical wee knit that recalls the joy of early spring when coveted blooms reappear in the garden. The deceptively easy colour patterning is accomplished through a clever slipped stitch technique and only 2 colours per row!

Blooming Peerie Cardigan is knit in the round with a raglan yoke, steeked button band, and short rows to shape the neck.

This little cardigan is knit in soft and lofty “Sanctuary” yarn from Murky Depths Dyeworks. A fine 100% Merino Wool, it has a wonderful bounce to it and lovely next-to-skin softness while still maintaining excellent stitch definition – perfect for children’s colourwork. This fun knit is pure colour happiness in wool form.
