The Six Little Flowers (6LF) Cardigan is a simple, top-down knit with a button band and 3/4 length sleeves. It is absolutely seamless! You have the choice to add on embroidered flowers at the end. Knit in bulky weight yarn held double stranded, the 6LF Cardigan is a quick project and a great, beginner-friendly introduction to top-down knitting.
