A fabulous concoction of colour designed to reflect light and shadow, inspired by those photography fans who just can’t stop snapping! This classic box cardi is full of zest and fun. Slip stitches and garter
stitch give depth, with accent colours peeping through matching the button band and cuffs! Knit in pieces from the bottom up. Its a simple knit for experimenting with texture.
