This is a fun, feminine, modern and convertible cardigan made in Tunisian crochet.

You can wear the cardigan with the collar around your neck, so that it becomes a type of sleeved poncho. You can draw shut the collar and wear the cardigan over your back, which will make the sleeves appear shorter. When you wear the cardigan over your back, you also have the option to use the top back as a hood. However you are wearing the cardigan, you can leave it open or close it with the button.

There are at least five ways to wear the cardigan!

The main part is crocheted flat, but the sleeves, collar and edging are crocheted in the round. The cardigan has a loose fit, but the size can easily be adjusted to your liking.

Cherry Blossoms
Spring is in the air.
The cherry trees are covered in pink flowers.
A light breeze brings a whiff of fragrance from the orchard.
You wrap yourself in your cardigan and go for a stroll.
