This pattern is knitted with a looser than normal tension for the thickness of yarn.

Pretty leaves decorate the yoke and a fast growing twisted drop stitch is used for the sleeves and skirt of the cardigan.

There are two versions, one is straight down and the other has a little shaping using some under-the-bust decreases and smaller needles to fit more to your curves.

The pink design shown is the more fitted version

Included are instructions for a sleeveless version as well as 3/4 length sleeves. The length of the body and sleeves are easily adjustable. Also, there is information for knitting this design for children.

The pattern is an 8 page pdf file with clear instructions and notes throughout.
