Ombré Cardigan pattern

Ombrécover

Introducing my new cardigan design. The Ombré cardigan was inspired by my desire to knit a fun garment using two strands of Pink Label Lace Weight yarn held together. The resulting fabric is squishy yet light, the perfect little cardigan!

This is a fitted cardigan with a v-neck and 3/4 length sleeves. It is well suited to endless colour combinations, but of course, I chose my favorite shades of blue for my version (cobalt and midnight). I love how it adds a pop of colour to any outfit.
