The minty cardigan
I think I have two sheep in my head, one is fluffy, endearing, and cuddly. It has a lovely soft mint fleece and smells a little bit like a lemon cheesecake. This sheep appears when I am well rested, fed, and warm. Because I get hungry very fast, this sheep is seldom in command… The other sheep which lives inside my head is also very fluffy but with pink curls, and its cute appearance is deceptive. It acts like a real ram, running head first into walls, people, and sheep. Stopping everyone with a resolute “möh!” it makes its own way.
I designed this easy top-down cardigan for those days when you cannot decide if you are Minty or Möh, if you want to cuddle or hit someone. Just wrap yourself in this warm cardi and find a sunny pasture to run wild.
The cardigan is knitted from the top down. It is increased on four raglan lines over the complete yoke. The sleeves are picked up and knitted flat.
The cardigan is slightly tailored and reaches my hip bones (not sure if yours are on the same place :-D). So, you can wear it casual over jeans but also with a high waisted skirt. Because the sheep always want to play and jump around, the cardigan has a lot of ease, especially in the sleeves.
This is my first attempt at a knitting pattern, if you find some gruesome mistakes, please tell me very gently :-D
