The Maresia Cardi is inspired by rough seas, cold polar winds, and cozy layers to go with it.
The cardigan is designed top down from sleeve to sleeve, being steeked later on. This colorwork design is ideal for those that want an extra cozy cardigan that will wrap you like a warm hug…with pockets!
The difficulty level of the pattern is considered Intermediate and so, prior colorwork knitting and steeking experience is ideal! The chart is relatively easy, so while chart reading experience is helpful, it’s not a prerequisite.
The pattern is a wrapping cardigan pattern and there is no waist shaping. Additionally, it is to be knit with approximately 2”/5cm size for the sleeves and 4”/10cm for the bust.
