Let your creativity run wild and have fun painting with yarn! Intended to be worn as a loose fitting cardi with tapered sleeves, the Modern Art Cardi is worked from the bottom up in pieces and uses intarsia along with different stitch patterns to create textured shapes throughout the entire piece. The shapes can be worked using the charts provided or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can create your own modern art!
