Confectionary Cardi
Confectionary Cardi
Designed by Aubrey Busek
Our favorite layering pieces are lightweight, easy to wear with everything, and anything but boring. Knit in supple, decadent Donnina, the Confectionary Cardi is sure to be a favorite. Bold color blocking and a touch of asymmetry sweeten this otherwise simple cardigan. The relaxed fit and raglan shaping ensure this is a cozy addition to your wardrobe.

PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is knit flat in pieces and seamed. Stitches are picked up and worked flat after seaming for the neck and zipper placket. A zipper is inserted by hand sewing as the final step.
The Confectionary Cardi is available as part of e-book Sweet Treats, and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
