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.
