Malou cardigan
BUY THIS PATTERN AT RAVELRY OR ETSY (IN ENGLISH AND DUTCH)
This little vibrant yoke cardigan called Malou is designed for children. It is cropped, with a zipper. I knitted it for my granddaughter, to wear with a beautiful, wide little dress. The photos show the smallest size, size 26.
This cardigan is top down knitted in one piece. The material is 100% wool, Bio Shetland GOTS from BC Garn. It is soft, warm and sustainable.
Every size has it's own (depth of) yoke so that the cardigan as a whole remains well balanced. Every stranded row is included in a colour chart. The pattern is written in detail.
