Floret Cardi

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

By: Annie Lupton

The Floret Cardi is a beautiful open cardi knit in our cotton Wildflower yarn. The bodice is knit with smaller needles and below the bust with the larger needles. I love the mix of gauges here and of course that macrame fringe - which is totally optional but highly recommended!
