{"product_id":"warm-up-cardi-knitting-pattern","title":"Warm-up Cardi Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe WARM-UP CARDIGAN is your new favourite layer: toss it on as you dash out the door in the morning, keep it with you for whatever the day brings, and snuggle up in it on the sofa at night. A relaxed silhouette and gently-fitted sleeves lend practicality and comfort to the classic raglan shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen approaching the yarn combination, I wanted to explore the thrill of designing a fabric as much as designing the sweater: that’s just one of the beautiful parts of knitting our own garments! We held three strands of yarn together to create a cohesive fabric that feels so luxurious and caressing to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis classic shape lends itself well to experimenting with all sorts of yarn: stash dive and hold a few together, or go with a reliable aran-weight yarn for a simply relaxing knitting process!
