Forest Dweller Cardigan PDF Pattern

$8.00

Taking inspiration from tree bark, Forest Dweller is designed to have a feel and texture reminiscent of the magical texture the trees around us have. This cropped cardigan has a lichen-inspired center motif running down the back panel, sandwiched between a mirrored, twisted stitch pattern on either side (as well as on the sleeves), which gives the piece a weathered, bark-like effect. The cardigan ends with a fancy rib trim. Forest Dweller is a drop shoulder cardigan and would be a great addition to your wardrobe—it pairs well with a variety of daily activities.
