Ready to de-stash? It’s leftovers for dinner! Well, leftovers for this sweater. Use your leftover or random balls of yarn to make a colorful cardigan.

I had a steadily growing mountain of yarn and needed to de-stash ASAP! My solution was to create a pattern that only uses one ball of each color; that way I could use up the leftovers from previous projects and the yarn that I just had to buy but didn’t know what to do with afterwards.

The pattern is a big circle with sleeves, and is knit to fit your measurements. It is a very versatile cardigan that can be worn several ways. If you wear it with the wider section at the bottom, it is a swingy cardigan. If you wear it with the wider section at the top, it is a shrug with a big shawl collar.
