Description
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Croco Cardi is knitted with two strands of yarn held together, working from the top down. Start by knitting the back
yoke, then the shoulders and neckline. Continue knitting the body and finish with a ribbed edge. Next, knit the
sleeves and work a ribbed border around the neckline. Finally, seam a chain to fasten the cardigan.
This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners.
