Hento Cardigan

This cardigan is a little sister of Hento design, a sweater that I designed for Laine Magazine Issue 15. Worked in relatively loose gauge to give light and airy fabric this sweater is a lovely light cardigan for spring or autumn. Basic brioche knitting skills needed, tutorial links included in the pattern.
