Astrid Adult Cardigan

The Astrid cardigan is worked from the top down, back and forth in one piece, with sleeves completed in the round.

All Fairisle sections are charted separately. 2 options for Chart D – flower or snowflake. If the body is worked in stocking stitch, the cardigan has a looser fit. If the body is worked in the diamond pattern, it has a closer, more structured fit.
