I was inspired to made this after being too lazy to follow the shell stitch pattern for the bolero in this magazine. One thing led to another and I decide to design my own cardi based on the shape of the one pictured.

All sizes except the small are estimated based on the gauge, but there is an option for custom sizing and a measurement guide. Hopefully this works for you. I’d recommend wearing this with a small belt used for fitted tops. Or you could attach a button and wear it that way. Enjoy
