The combination of dense cables and the organic leaf pattern makes the Anemone cardigan both feminine and rustic. At first glance it may seem complicated with all the different elements, but they are simple to knit. When you have divided the stitches and worked a couple of rows, the pattern is easily memorised.

Construction notes
The cardigan is worked bottom-up. First you work the back and fronts back and forth until the armholes. Then work the sleeves. Put all parts on the same circular needle and work raglan decreases and the neckline. Then finish the cardigan by working button bands and the neck band.
