The story
For this puff sleeve (and shorter) version of the Pourmoi Cardigan is I used yarn that I spun on a drop spindle. I combined numerous multicolor and semi solid shades, plying dull plies with brighter plies in a random way. While knitting I striped in a random way as well, alternating the orange-ish balls with the blueish balls. In other words, Its impossible for me to tell you how I came up with the colors and stripes. I can only provide this rough description. You may find Berroco Millefiori to be an interesting commercial yarn substitution.

This super easy cardigan is knit in one piece from the bottom up. Choose to knit yours without seams or with one shoulder / top of sleeve seam (if you are like me and don’t love knitting sleeves in the round). There is no shaping at the sides, armholes or neck, only at the shoulders.
