This sweater is inspired by the beauty of pressed flowers and the delightfully airy look of dandelion seeds before they get blown away. You can snuggle up in the Dandelion Cardigan on the perfect day out with your favourite person, head out on your own adventure, or spend the day in with your favourite show; no matter what your day brings you, you’ll be wearing the perfect sweater to keep you happy! This cardigan features rows of flowers that alternate with slipped stitches for an easy-to-knit but delightfully textured project.
