Oleander or Karaveera in Sanskrit is a poisonous plant with attractive colorful flowers and medicinal value. It can withstand drought, heat and neglect. Human nature is the same; we have both the good and the bad in us, we can withstand anything that life throws at us and still bloom like an oleander in spring.

The fronts and back of this cardigan are worked separately and seamed.
Stitches are picked up to work the sleeves in the round.
