This all-over stranded color work cardigan immediately became my go-to! It is warm, comfy and flattering. Using only two colors means it still has a nice stretch to the fabric. It has a bold pattern inspired by pine trees growing up the side of a mountain. Combine that with a simple garment design and you have a great option for color work beginners! The pattern is interesting enough to keep experienced knitters engaged and truly does result in a lovely finished garment. The pattern is size inclusive ranging from 28”/71cm bust to a 68”/171cm bust.
