Schnee
This is the cardigan to live in during the cold months. It’s oversized and cozy with the beautiful texture adding even more warmth and softness to it. Shaping on shoulders and underarms makes sure the cardigan also fits well and the extra long sleeves keep your hands warm.
The garment is worked seamlessly from top down, joining pieces as you go. The pattern includes several schematics and buttonhole tutorial to make everything clear so you can just sit back and enjoy your knitting.
