Knitting Kit - Poppy Cardigan by Knitting For Olive

The Poppy Cardigan is a soft and airy cardigan with a loose fit, adorned with a ruffle at the hem. It is knitted top-down, flat, with 3 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together.

The neckline is shaped using short rows before knitting the yoke and body flat. Stitches are then picked up to create the ruffle, which is also shaped with short rows. The sleeves are knitted in the round, top-down.
