The Rainbow Cardigan is worked from the top down. You’ll start by knitting the back, then pick up stichs at the shoulders to work each front. The intarsia colorwork adds a bright and cheerful touch — perfect for spring! This pattern is ideal for knitters who want to learn intarsia while creating a joyful and colourful cardigan.
