Description
Inspired by the bold markings of monarch butterfly wings, this cardigan carries the full wing pattern across the back and sleeves — a winged silhouette that's playful, cosy, and impossible to miss.
It's a proper colourwork project. You work three panels flat in tapestry crochet from colour charts, outline each one, then join, rib, and finish with buttons and optional antennae. A satisfying make for anyone who enjoys colour changes and garments with a bit of personality.
When you buy this digital pattern you'll get an instant download of the PDF, including the size charts, three colour charts, and every step illustrated. And if you ever get stuck, just reach out — support is included with every pattern.
