Snow - intricate floral flakes interpreted with Art Deco flare. A joyful and comfortable design with elegant details; a striking cardigan to wear with jeans or a skirt on those cold winter days!

This cardigan is worked from the top down in the round with a steek. The neck edging and yoke are worked and then the sleeves are separated before the body is continued in the colourwork motif and then in St st in MC to bottom edge. Each sleeve is worked in the round with a motif on the upper sleeve and the cuff. The steek is prepared and cut before button bands are picked up and worked flat along each front edge.
