The Fjellblomst cardigan is a light and airy mohair duster cardigan with a simple top-down construction knit mostly in stockinette with cable and color-blocking details. Inspired by the wildflowers that grow in the North Norwegian mountains, it’s the perfect layering piece for chilly spring and summer evenings.

The cardigan is knit flat from the top-down with raglan shaping on the yoke. Sleeves and body are split and knit in stockinette with a charted cable and color-blocking on the sleeves. Body and sleeves are finished in 1x1 ribbing and a ribbed button-band is picked up and knit along the body.

Note that the cable pattern is charted only
