A shawl-collar cardigan evokes mandalic look in Mirai colorway #1, a terrestrial blend of brown, blue, green and rust. It begins with a V-stitch back panel, which is worked outward in two halves from a center-back foundation chain. Worked from the back panel’s outer edges- leaving spaces for the armholes- the outer ruffle is crocheted in the round, alternating lacy long chains and V-stitch patterns.
