Elephant Reserve: Knitted with worsted yarn, an unisex top-down cardigan with elephants.
Colowork is charted.

Body is knitted flat and sleeves are knitted in the round. Seamless! Stitches are then picked up to knit the rib edges.
Instructions are given for 1 main colour (MC) and 1 contrast colour (CC) but you can use as many colours as you wish.
