Katarina Cardigan designed by Julie Weisenberger
When I teach knitting classes on how to custom fit garments, this is the most popular pattern we use. This cardigan is versatile and flattering on a variety of figures. Wear it open or pin it with a fun brooch at the neck or waist. It works for everyone!
