The Kaleidoscope Cardi is a celebration of yarn and color! Let your inner creative shine as you experiment and go with the flow with color and yarn placement. This style is a seamless, yoke-style cardigan, worked flat, from the top down entirely in stockinette stitch using one color or a mix of colors/yarns. It has a straight body and choice of ¾ or full-length sleeves with a crochet edging to finish off all of the edges.
