Cedar Ledge Cardigan
Cedar Ledge Cardigan
The Cedar Ledge Cardigan is part of my Spring 2018 Remarkable Yarns Collection: a set of four sweater patterns and three accessories designed to work equally well with both Rosy Green Wool and Crave Yarns Caravan. It's a classic V-neck drop shoulder cardigan with a fun gansey-inspired texture trimming the sleeves and sweater body. It's trimmed in chunky 4x4 ribbing, which makes a nice match for the cardigan's lightweight gauge.
