From one of the many Scottish terms for snow - we find a blin-drift or drifting snow. May beautiful snowy drifts fill your days and nights, even if the snow is only on your sweet new cardigan!

This is a pattern for a circular yoke cardigan worked from the top down and in the round. It is worked holding 6 strands of 2/28NM yarn from Colour Mart together to get a heavy DK - worsted weight yarn giving a st gauge of 22 sts.
The cardigan is worked with a steek and you may work a straight or fitted waist option (both are included in the pattern).
