Swedish translation now available here.

Are you ready to add some flavor to your wardrobe? Krydda means “spice” in Swedish, and is just the garment to complete your autumn look of the day (and the next day too!)

Krydda is chic but comfortable, warm but still delicate, and easily dresses up both the stylish and casual outfit.

The cardigan is worked seamlessly in one piece from the top-down, and can be work with one or several buttons as well as none at all. A wide V-neck adds an extra feminine touch to the stockinette body, flattering the neckline and shoulders. A beautiful lace stitch wraps around from the fronts to meet in the back, lightening up the warm and cozy aran weight fabric.

The lace pattern is introduced while still working the yoke, and initially requires some extra attention -- this soon turns into smooth sailing, and a project you don’t want to put away. A treat for the experienced, or a wonderful challenge for the advanced beginner!

A small errata was found in the yoke and has been fixed.
