Let your creative spirit run wild with the Sunbeam Stripe Cardi Kit. There is no wrong way to knit this one! It's all about mixing yarns, colors and textures in a way that resonates with you and makes you feel free as you knit. Did we mention that it's a whole lot of fun too?!

These kits take on the look and vibe of the original (OG) combo in shown here, with an array of mini skeins from our Mini Skein Sampler Kits sprinkled throughout. 

The cardi is created by working sideways from cuff to cuff. You’ll need one skein of our Spun Cloud yarn for the cuff, neck, bottom and front ribbings. The rest is all worked using one color Spun Cloud combined with Mini Skein Sampler Kits. Have fun mixing colors and making it your own! Tap the link here to see the Sunbeam Stripe Cardi on a range of beautiful bodies!
