The Valpuri cardigan is a real classic, a knitthat’s perfect for stylish girls and boys alike. The pattern features two different versions, knitted with different yarns. The white version, knitted from the soft Novita Wonder Wool DK yarn, will feel so comfortable that it’s bound to become one of the child’s favourite garments. The slightly more girlish pink version is knitted with two yarns held together: Novita Wonder Wool 4PLY and Novita Tuuli. The cardigan is finished with a scalloped crochet border.
