The Bloom Cardigan

After your suggestions and all the love you show to The Bloom Sweater, I decided to create a Cardigan version of the same lacy pattern!

The Bloom Cardigan is available English and in French and also in TWO VERSIONS: a Steek version and a Classic Version.

Enjoy a -15% until Monday, Sept 25! All the knitters that purchase this or any of my patterns until the end of September, they will be automatically part of a big Giveaway! Check info here.

Pattern in Spanish coming soon! Si quieres el patrón en español, puedes adquirirlo durante los días de descuento y se te enviará una vez esté listo. En este caso, por favor, envíame un email!

Purchasing this pattern you get BOTH versions so you knit the one you prefer. For the Steek Version there are images and videos you can follow. Read well the pattern before you start in order to know if you feel comfortable with this version…or start CO the forever Classic flat version!

ATTENTION: The pattern is addictive…according to all my testers! 😉

If you need a MasterClass with me (we would explain the construction of the pattern, the techniques used and even start to knit it together), you can send me an email here: marina@stormknittingart.com
