Overview: The Lina cardigan is a knitting project made from many squares and is perfect to use the leftover yarn from previous project! Those individual squares can then be attached together with 3 different methods (on the machine with a back stitch, with a wool sewing needle or a crochet hook). That pattern is very versatile and come with construction options but also different length and neckline choices.
