This intermediate-level pattern combines the warmth of wheat with pops of old pink and cherry, creating a stunning piece that’s as fun to make as it is to wear. Perfect for anyone who loves a bit of challenge and a lot of style, this cardigan is crafted in one piece, meaning less sewing and more satisfaction. The oversized, cropped design offers a modern twist on the classic cardigan, with customizable length to suit your style.
