+DETAILS
The Candlewood Cardi features whimsical and fun details and comes in sizes for the whole family!

This cardigan is knit seamlessly from the top down. The main body is knit flat with no steeking required due to the nature of mosaic colorwork. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is knit, then the sleeve stitches are placed back on the needle and knit in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up for the collar at the top and then down the middle front for the front bands.
