NOTES
Nutsfield is knit in three pieces and sewn together. For the cardigan, you will work with three balls of yarn (C1: right back, C2: left back and C3: spine) for the back. When working the intarsia section, twist yarn on the WS whenever changing colours to avoid gaps.

Please note that because of the lace stitch pattern and linen/cotton blend, your garment will stretch over time. Please be mindful of that when selecting your size.
