This pattern can be found in issue 13 of Laine Magazine.

Beloved is a cosy and comfortable cardigan knitted in two-colour half-brioche stitch. It is a great unisex pattern with a slouchy fit. The seamless cardigan is worked flat from the top down in a worsted-weight yarn.

Griselda Zárate was inspired by cold days spent seated by the fire with friends and loved ones. If you take particular care with the finishing, you can also wear the wrong side of the cardigan as the right side.
