Meet the Dreamland Cardi. This beautiful design highlights our unique, hand-sun Dreamland yarn so wonderfully. A perfect sweater for any occasion, the Dreamland cardi is a piece of wearable art that has an oversized, comfy fit to keep you warm and stylish. It is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, the back and front pieces are seamed, and sleeves are worked in the round. This is a simple cardigan for beginners as the stitches are basic to allow for the yarn to shine.
