Willow Cardi Pattern
$10.00
The Willow Cardi is a textured, eye-catching cardigan that is worked flat in one piece, horizontally across the body, beginning with the right cuff and ending with the left cuff. It is worked entirely in a feather and fan lace pattern, changing colors/yarns, and creating wavy stripes. The sleeves and sides are seamed together to form the body and both a bottom hem and an applied front neckline edging complete it. This is a wonderful design for all levels of knitters, and a perfect piece for beginner lace knitters to shine.

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
