Carissa is a beautifal warm cardigan for autumn and winter days. It is worked from button up in single pieces.

Eyecatchers are the set in pockets, the long V-neck and the simple but impressive slip stitch pattern. You work with 3 colors, but you will never have to work with more than one color at the time.
