Sessilia Cardigan, named after the stitch patterns texture resemblance to the Sessilia barnacle! It is a cropped v-neck cardigan, with Batwing cropped sleeves and an all over garter one-sided lace pattern. The cardigan is knit in one piece from the bottom up, casting on and shaping sleeves in a seamless way. The rymatic garter rows with the lace pattern to keep you entertained is very satisfying.
