1: the art of making candy and sweets.

Mini skeins are the candy of yarn and make knitting extra sweet! The CONFECTIONERY cardigan is designed to use 24 mini skeins plus a main color -- perfect for Advent knitting!

The body of the cardigan is knit flat sideways. The sides are seamed and the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round. The sweater is finished by picking up stitches for the hem and then working the front edging.
