This cardigan is reminiscent of a tropical rainforest and the colour of Beloved Yarn’s Magical Sport reminds me of the gorgeous waterfalls seen in Hawaii.

Worked top down in one piece, this cardigan features a lace pattern at the hem and fake cables trailing down the fronts and back.

Note: Lace at hem is charted only
