Dancing reflections on water, sunlight trapped between the tree branches, soft evening shadows in the garden - the magic of Monet’s paintings are mirrored in the beauty of Waterfall yarn. The Monet Cardigan was dreamed up as a special layer for the summer days when just a bit more warmth is needed. This easy to wear piece is a perfect companion for long walks in the meadows, picnics at the seaside, and summer nights by the campfire.

The Monet Cardigan is knit sideways, in two pieces, from the wrist to the middle of the back. The two pieces are then joined, using a three needle bind off. A cropped body, gentle V-neck shaping, and straight sleeves make it a dream to style. 2x1 ribbing at the cuffs, hem, and V-neck prevent the stockinette stitch from curling. Choose from different colorways of Waterfall yarn to match the mood of your favorite Monet painting and create your own masterpiece.
