Nordlig Cardigan
Nordlig means Northern and it got it’s name because it’s the perfect garment to wear here in the northen part of the world - all year round. It works perfectly for chilly summer nights as a jacket and for the rest of the year as a cozy cardigan.
Construction
The Nordlig Cardigan has a fun and interesting construction that is actually very intuitive once you start knitting. You just have to follow the numbers according to the drawing and you will get there - a bit like a treasure hunt.
The cardigan features an all over brioche pattern, change in knitting direction, short rows, a bit of grafting, buttonholes and ribbing for the hems.
