Mayhem Cardigan DK
5 for 4 – if you buy any 5 Åsa Tricosa patterns at the same time you get the least expensive one for free.
Mayhem Cardigan debuted as a printed pattern at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2017.
This pattern is now also available in the Ziggurat Book (print & eBook, 2018).

Mayhem Cardigan has squishy texture, overlapping fronts, no buttons, and a squarish, almost swingy shape that is easy to wear. 
This cardigan can look formal or entirely casual with its set-in, tailored, long sleeves.
A well-nigh invisible gather at centre back lends that little bit of extra ease.
The texture is created with an easy four-row stitch pattern that makes you want to knit just one more row. There is also a hidden (optional) mini pocket. Yay!
Like all Ziggurats, Mayhem is knitted top down with contiguous sleeve caps, built-in edges, and a built-in not-quite double-knitted coin pocket.
