Free Pattern Friday – Half and Half Cardigan

Happy Friday, fellow crafters! I am super excited to introduce you to this week’s free pattern, the Half and Half Cardigan, designed by ME!

The Half and Half Cardigan is one of my favorite designs ever. Knit in soft and silky Wool Pop, in colors 605 Silken and 616 Denim, this cardigan is a fun take on color blocking. This piece is worked flat, from the top down, using intarsia color changes at the center back to create seamless blocks of color. With a flattering v-neck and close-fitting silhouette, this piece will keep you covered, pun intended, on all occasions as the weather turns.

The blend of 50% bamboo, 35% superwash wool, and 15% polyamide allow the fibers to absorb the dye differently, giving Wool Pop its distinctive heathered appearance. With a slight sheen and incredible drape, this multi-season yarn is one of our fan favorites. Get 20% off this luscious yarn this weekend, through Sunday, Sept 8th.

I am dreaming of a zesty version in 618 Lemongrass and 619 Blue Whisper, how about you?

Keep on crafting on!
