Lilora is a sweet and versatile cardigan, perfect for using up your yarn stash or knitting in one solid shade. Worked top-down on straight needles with raglan shaping, the body is knit back and forth while the sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round for a cosy finish. Unique construction begins with a scrap-yarn cast-on, with the neckline and hem finished in two different methods for a polished look. Fun to knit, ideal for any baby wardrobe!
