Coziness is one of the pillar of my lifestyle. I make myself a good cup of tea, I pick a blanket and a cozy cardigan and I sit by the window. I immensely enjoy watching the snow fall on the sidewalk, quickly covering the footsteps of the passer-by. However, spring is always in my thoughts, pretty flowers, pretty colors… and I wish winter was as graceful as spring.

Freesia Cardigan combines both the coziness required for winter and the elegance of spring. It’s worked from the top-down with DK weight yarn. It has raglan sleeves, a soft v-neck, and is fastened with buttons. The front features lace panels mixing bobbles with mock-cables, and raglan seams are embellished with an interesting lace pattern. The pattern is available in 12 sizes from 32.25” to 60.75” of bust circumference.
