The Crossroads Cardigan

I really enjoyed designing the Crossroads Sweater. So much so that I simply had to create a cardigan using the same stitch pattern.
The Crossroads Cardigan is the perfect layering piece that will give you just a touch of warmth without being too hot and stifling. The Forked Clusters and Crown Puff Lattice will hold your attention while adding some delicacy to the design. This will be your go-to cardigan for the warmer days and nights ahead.
