Trios of puff stitches are the repeating motif here and they’re just like little fluffy clouds.

This is a cosy cardigan that’s perfect for the transitional seasons of autumn and spring.

Gauge
9.5cm measures 12 rows & 2 pattern repeats.
The stitch pattern is multiples of 8 + 7. 2 pattern repeats = 18 stitches.

The Little Fluffy Clouds stitch pattern is a four row pattern repeat, alternating between dc rows and tr rows with puff stitches.

Yarn Subbing
Other DK yarns will work but please swatch before making your cardigan. I found that holding Drops Alpaca 4ply together with Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk was a great match and my gauge swatch was spot on.

Notes
The pink cardigan was made with Get Your Fluff On by Hobbycraft. It has recently been discontinued.

The cardigan is made top down. In the final garment, the stitch pattern is upside down. The back is worked first. The shoulder drop and front panels are worked directly onto it at the shoulders. (The front cardigan panels continue on from the shoulder drop).
