This is a bright and summery color work cardigan that will catch eyes and compliments all day and will keep you warm on chilly spring nights. The Berroco Lanas Yarn is soft and beautiful with slight variegations and a lovely drape. This is a simple, top-down pattern that is easily customizable by length. Don’t worry about color work knitting on the wrong side, we use a steek to knit the whole sweater in the round and then cut it into a cardigan. It sounds scary, but it’s simple and makes knitting a lot easier.
