Create this knit cardigan with cherries, or create the cherries separately and adorn your own sweater! Either way, this fun pattern is a joy to make. Stitched in vibrant shades of Red Heart Super Saver, you’ll practice knit, purl, decreases, increases, plus making crochet cherries in single crochet, and crocheting in rounds. Tip: use a cherry to cleverly cover any imperfections in your garment, extending its life while adding a touch of whimsy. If you’re into 90s cottagecore aesthetics, this pattern is perfect for you.
