This cardigan is inspired by my grandma and her love for everything beautiful, practical, and no-fuss. The cardigan is knit bottom up as one piece. The all-over Flower stitches look good on both sides, there are no visible seams, and the method of attaching a button on both right and wrong sides make the cardigan perfectly reversible!
