The Winterlight Cardigan is the kind of project that feels effortless from start to finish. With its simple two-panel construction and easy double crochet stitches, this sleeveless cardigan is a relaxing make for adventurous beginners or anyone who just wants a soothing, no-fuss project.

Lightweight and drapey, it’s perfect for layering almost year-round. The playful woven scrap-yarn detail adds a unique touch, while the tassel fringe gives it a relaxed, boho-inspired finish. Pair it with jeans, a dress, or leggings — it’s the piece you’ll reach for again and again.
