Introduction
Drosera intermedia is a small carnivorous plant that is protected in all the French territory.
The cardigan named after this little plant is worked top down, seamlessly. The work starts with a provisional cast on
at the back and the shoulders. Stitches are progressively added at the fronts. At the same time raglan are worked, and a simple diamond pattern is worked all along the back. When raglans have been completed, body and sleeves are divided.
Body is worked straight in stocking sts. The optional little pocket is worked separately, and then it is added with a three needles method. Sleeves are worked in round, top down. Neck edging, button band and buttonhole band are worked in garter stitch after picking up stitches.
