There were a few of you who were looking at the photos from my launch party in September and wondering what cardigan I was wearing…

At the time the pattern was not finished, I had made a mad dash to knit the cardigan up in time for the book launch! It is a crazy fast cardigan to knit, I think it took 4 or 5 days in total. It’s top down raglan with a cropped body style and 3/4 length sleeves so a perfect rush job to add that splash of colour to your wardrobe! In the pattern I’ve added tons of options, different lengths and 3 different sleeve lengths.
I’ve finished writing the pattern up and it’s currently at the tech editor. For anyone who’d like to knit a little number for your Christmas party I’m selling the pattern on pre-order at the reduced price of $5.00.
