Love Me Tender
This cardigan design came out of a desire to show off a beautiful kettle dyed yarn. After playing around with different stitches, I just loved the way this woven basket stitch worked with the color variations of the yarn.
Knitted from the top down and available in 12 sizes, you can easily adjust the yoke for your perfect size. This is a really fun pattern that will fly off of your needles!
