The Anthurium Cardigan is an adorable short-sleeved cardigan, with an elegant yoke trimmed with nupps, suggesting Anthurium flowers and leaves with texture and lace. Ideal for wearing over a summer dress, this sweater would also be great for dressing up a more casual outfit on a warm spring or fall day.
Cardigan is knit back and forth in rows from the bottom up. Sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up, then joined together with body to form yoke.
