Here are five absolutely thrilling things that you should know about the Elderflower Cardigan:

It is gorgeously light and fluffy

It is utterly lacy and romantic

It’s like knitting (and wearing) the softest cloud

It somehow manages to be both snuggly and dazzling

If a knitting spa day and a trip to the Scottish Highlands had a baby, this would be it!

This dreamy open front cardigan can be knit with one strand of DK weight yarn, or a strand of fingering + a strand of laceweight held double (I knit my sample with a strand of Treehouse Knits Sequoia sock + Suri Ash lace for the body, and a single strand of the Suri Ash for the front edges). The lace pattern on the Elderflower Cardigan is fun without being difficult, and the whole thing is finished off with squishy garter stitch edges.

I honestly adore Elderflower and I know you will too!
