Dianthus Baby Cardigan
The elusive “nalgar” (“raglan” spelled backwards) sleeve construction makes the Dianthus Baby Cardigan a fun, purl-free and nearly seamless knitting project. The luminous colors and great quality of BFL Fingering Hand-Dyed really makes this garment an heirloom. For a machine-washable option, check out Valley Yarns Franklin.
