This is the cardigan version of the Filsa Sweater that I have previously released. The word ‘filsa’ means button in Tunisian, and seemed like the perfect fit for this adorable little cardigan! The body is worked flat with a garter edge to create the button band. The simple lacework only uses two techniques, and can easily be left out of the pattern to suit a different style. The sleeves are knit using the magic loop method, with one round of rapid decreases before the I-cord bind-off.

There is a full YouTube tutorial that I have created to show the cardigan knit step-by-step:
