Keep Dreaming Cardi

Life can be tough; please don’t give up hope, hang in there and keep dreaming!The Keep Dreaming Cardi was inspired by this sentiment, and my Keep Dreaming Shawl and Cowl patterns. The Body features two different lace motifs and V-neckline shaping. The sleeves feature the same lace pattern as the top of the body and cinch in at the cuff. The boxy, easy fit makes for easy knitting and comfortable layering. Knit up in Flora Adora Fibers naturally dyed chunky weight yarn, this cardigan knits up surprisingly quickly.
