Spring Cardi




The Cascade 220 in flamingo pink has been put to good use, and oh, what lovely yarn! The result is this eyelet yoke cardigan that I made for Sophia for Spring. The pattern is a free one I saw on Ravelry from Lion Brand Yarns. Should anyone choose to knit it, go with your gut instinct as far as measurements are concerned. If I had followed the pattern by the letter then the finished article would have been somewhat short on my tall, lean little girl. I added quite a few inches in length to the body and sleeves and am pleased with the results. The back and sides are knitted in one piece and the sleeves added before the yoke, so a very quick and satisfying knit - with very few seams to sew!!
