This cardigan is the perfect knitting project to use up leftover or scrap yarn! The yarn that I used for this cardigan originated from 2 pillow cases that I frogged, and turned out to fit really well together.

It is an easy pattern for beginners who want to make a cardigan that isn’t complicated to knit, yet has interesting details and provides a great fit.

The pattern is in English.
