The Marigold Cardigan-Knitting Pattern and Make Along
The Marigold Cardigan is a cozy, oversized knit featuring drop shoulders, bubble sleeves, and chic inset pockets, perfect for layering. Crafted with the stunning colors of Heartland yarn, it uses a beautiful textured stitch that adds depth and character. This intermediate-level pattern is ideal for knitters looking to create a stylish, statement piece with both comfort and flair.
The Marigold was made in collaboration with Rachel from Evelyn and Peter. Rachel designed the crochet version called The Maeve. We will be hosting a Make Along for the month of October sponsored by Lion Brand Yarn. Keep scrolling for all the details and to see how to participate.
