Free Pattern Friday – Cassia Cardigan

It’s Free Pattern Friday!

Today, the Cassia Cardigan in Good Earth and Good Earth Adorn (pattern link).

The weather here can’t decide what it wants to do.  One minute it’s Spring, the next it’s Summer.  We need something that will straddle the line.

The Cassia Cardigan is a geat layering piece over a tee.

Knit this piece flat in three pieces – the back, and each half of the front.  Then seam and add the solid border (shown in Good Earth cotton/linen).

Although the stitch pattern for this cardi is simple, you’ll still want to pay attention.  The detailed decreases that makes this such a striking piece occur at different rates in different places.  We’d recommend a read-through before starting to ensure smooth sailing later on.  Actually, we always recommend that, but we’re sometimes guilty of diving in first and winging it.  It’s just human nature when you have a beautiful project ready to go.

We hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Happy crafting!
