Welcome to the Pixelated Cardi Pattern. This design is a forever favorite around Knit Collage and was originally released as part of our Fall 2019 Knitalong. The Pixelated Cardi is a simple, yet beautiful colorwork cardigan that is knit up using our super soft Spun Cloud and unique printed Wildflower yarn. This is an ideal pattern for those wanting to try colorwork for the first time. The sweater is knit top down, making it easy to customize to a longer length both in the body and for the sleeves if you like. It is also seamless!
