Worked from the top down with fully fashioned raglan shaping, this pretty little cropped cardigan is a wardrobe staple.

It seems as though there are hundreds and hundreds of stitches when you first look at the pattern, but the garment grows quickly and there is the added time-saving bonus of no final seaming whatsoever - just five little buttons to sew on, and this is where your garment personalisation can really kick in (think contrast sewing thread / odd buttons / maybe even no buttons at all!).

Offered with a choice of cropped or long sleeve length, this lovely wool/cotton blend yarn can easily be substituted with De Rerum Natura Ulysse for a cooler season look.

The use of circular needles makes this a great holiday/travel knit project.
