This is a simple (or not so simple, as you'll discover) cardigan by Joji Locatelli. It was first published in Interpretations Volume 7, in collaboration with Veera Valimaki. Many could easily miss it among so many other designs. But the blocks of color, the combination of five spectacular colors, make it stand out. Make it so beautiful...extraordinary.

We love it for Dream in Color's Suzette yarn with its silky hand and drape and 120 beautiful hand dyed colors to choose from.

This cardigan has abundant ease, with perfectly tailored shoulders and set-in sleeves. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round. The button-bands are worked once the cardigan is finished, to give the finished piece a professional look.

The pattern is written for 9 sizes, with a finished chest circumference of: 41 (45, 50, 54, 58, 62, 67, 72, 76)" 103 (114, 125, 136, 146, 157, 168, 180, 190) cm. Recommended ease: 12-16" 30-40 cm depending on how you like to wear your cardigans. It is shown in size 50" on a 36" bust.
