It’s good to be unique! This unusual cardi is extra cute thanks to the mismatched colour scheme on either side of the front, on the ribbing and on each of the sleeves. You can also mix up the buttons you use on the front.

NOTES Cardigan is made in separate pieces. Cuffs and Button Bands are worked into the pieces before they are joined together. The Stitch Pattern is written out first and the pattern refers back to this.
