PATTERN NOTES
As the temperatures begin to rise and the first signs of spring emerge, we find ourselves reaching for lightweight layering pieces like the Bellissima Cardi. Bellissima is a perfect addition to a capsule wardrobe with its wearable silhouette and subtle colorwork details.

This piece is worked flat from the bottom up in pieces. After seaming, the Neck Edging and Buttonband stitches are picked up and worked.

When decreasing in the stranded pattern, work the decrease in whichever color comes next in the chart.
