The Milia Cardigan is an oversized jacket with a straight cut and adorable large bell sleeves. Depending on the choice of outfit, it can be easily dressed up or down for any occasion!
Another small eye-catcher are also the small bobbles, which go around the upper sleeve.
The cardigan is knitted with a thin mohair yarn and a larger needle size, resulting in a slightly sheer fabric.
You have the option to leave the jacket open or to knit two I-Cord bands at the front to tie it.
The instructions are suitable for advanced beginners. Most of the techniques used are explained to you step by step in pictures. Basic knowledge is nevertheless necessary.
The pattern is available in my Store and on Ravelry in English and German:
