OLVGRV- LASCWW-5
By Michelle Porter
This wonderfully rustic cardigan will instantly evoke daydreams of wandering through woodland paths and secret gardens. This cardigan is inspired by olive groves and happy times spent under the canopies of ancient trees. It features leaf and olive motifs and will be a favorite weekend classic.
Just a little bit roomy and not too long, this cardigan is designed for women to wear layered over other garments, and for the best fit the fronts of the cardigan measure wider than the back. It's knit one-piece, top down, following the charted motifs. The main body is worked in rows with a background of reverse stocking stitch: but the sleeves are worked inside-out, in the round (knit side facing), for your convenience and knitting pleasure.

In Stock Yarns: We will pick and ship your in-stock yarn as soon as possible, within a few business days. Please note that if your order also includes dyed-to-order yarns you will need to allow up to 1 - 2 weeks for us to dye and ship your yarn.
Working with Hand Dyed Yarn:While we strive for consistency, due to the hand dye process variations may exist between (and with some colourways within) dye lots. Therefore it is important to order sufficient yarn for your project, and if a uniform result is preferred we suggest alternating skeins. We hope that you will value and appreciate the beautiful and unique creations of the hand dye process and are always happy to assist you in working with hand dyed yarns!
