Lavender Cardigan

The Lavender cardigan is a simple raglan pattern, which is worked separately, bottom-up, then combined at the armholes. The delicate Daisy Pattern is worked throughout the pattern, and is rounded off by a twisted 1×2 rib along all edges of the cardigan. The yarn used is a mix of mohair, nettle fiber and wool, which results in both a warm and soft cardigan, perfect for chilly summer nights or mid-season wear. If you opt for a different yarn combination, make sure it allows the Daisy Pattern to stand out nicely and well defined.
