Indolent the Sahri-children,
But the colts are fat and frisky

This open cardigan is worked from the bottom up. This cropped cardigan features a colourwork motif at the hem. It doesn’t have buttons, so you can let it hang open or close it with a pin. It is a perfect layering piece for cooler summer evenings, when it is so beautiful you do not want to go to sleep just yet.
