Varsity Cardi Mini

$6.00

The Varsity Cardi Mini is a quick, easy pattern that features lace work and customizable color options. The Varsity Cardi Mini pattern was constructed in a way that minimizes seaming. The cardigan is worked as one piece that is seamed only at the shoulders to create the armholes for the sweater. Sleeves are then crocheted in the round. Intermittent lacework makes this a lightweight sweater perfect for layering.
