Knitting a Spring Cardigan - Spring is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to get started on our spring and summer projects. With its fresh colors, new yarns, and stylish designs, the new season really lifts our spirits. Want to get started too? Read on for the pattern for this lovely cardigan.
Phildar’s new Phil Noé yarn is the ultimate summer yarn. Made from 50% Cotton and 50% Acrylic, this yarn is soft, lightweight, and ideal for creating airy projects. The supple yarn has a cable-knit texture, making it strong and durable. For the cardigan shown above, the colors Eglantine 3, Blanc 10, Ivoire 5, and Perle 6 from Phil Noé were used.
Which color combination will you go for?
The yarn comes in a palette of 10 different colors that you can mix and match to your heart’s content. Of course, you can knit the cardigan shown in the example photo, but there are also other fun colors you can use to make it! For example, choose cool shades of blue or a composition of pink and blue. Below, we’ve listed three stylish combinations.
