Very Cherry Cardi

This colourful and sweet fitted cardi features 3/4 sleeves and is covered in succulent cherries which stand out against a pink and cream stripe background. The cherries are worked from a colour chart using the intarsia method - quite a lot of ends to weave in, so this one does require some patience! Techniques include knit and purl stitches, intarsia colour work from charts, increases and decreases and picking up stitches.

This pattern is in multiple sizes to fit a bust from 81cm/32in up to 127cm/50in.

Pattern includes a full list of abbreviations, schematic, colour charts and a printable page for your notes.
