Poppypod children cardigan

ConstructionThe cardigan is worked from the bottom-up, starting from an i-cord cast-on. The i-cord edge is continued along both front sides and used for the neckline bind-off, giving the cardigan neat and classy finishing. The body is worked in a two-color brioche, with a poppy pods pattern on the front. The sleeves are worked separately and then joined with the body for raglan shaped yoke. Short rows are used to elevate the back for a better fit. The pattern has two sets of instructions for each size: slim and normal versions. The cardigan is fitted with up to 5-10 cm / 2-4 in positive ease.
