The Caladium Cardigan is a top-down, modified drop-shoulder sweater. The boxy shape with 20 cm/7.75 in of positive ease provides a comfy loose fit. The fun blocks of colour are created with plain and marled coloured yarn. Shoulders are shaped with short rows for a better fit and the cardigan is finished with a sturdy double-knit button band. It’s a cozy, comfortable cardigan that you’ll want to wear on every cool day!

The pattern uses 3 yarn colours - light, dark, and marled (a combination of light and dark) in a DK weight. The suggested yarn (Timber Yarns Semi-Tonal and Marled DK) is available in this format. The pattern includes instructions and yardages for marling your own colour way using fingering weight yarns.

The design is created using the Intarsia technique. There are descriptions of all included techniques, and links to video tutorials. The pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters or adventurous beginners wanting to learn new skills.
