After your suggestions and all the love you show to The Bloom Sweater, I decided to create a Cardigan version of the same lacy pattern!

The Bloom Cardigan is now live in English and French and also in TWO VERSIONS: a Steek version and a Classic Version.
The German version is live in the Classic Version.

Purchasing this pattern you get all the versions so you knit the one you prefer. For the Steek Version there are images and videos you can follow. Read well the pattern before you start in order to know if you feel comfortable with this version…or start CO the forever Classic flat version!

If you need a MasterClass with me (we would explain the construction of the pattern, the techniques used and even start to knit it together), you can purchase it here.

If you have any questions, you can email me here: marina@stormknittingart.com
