Elise Cardigan

"Have you spent hours working on a sweater that was trendy, and then were only able to wear it a few times because it went out of style? The Elise Cardigan is the exact opposite. It has a really interesting detail thanks to the dotted purl stitches, but will always be a classic. It is the perfect lightly cropped cardigan to wear over dresses, with jeans or shorts, or to add a little bit of style to any outfit. This cardigan knitting pattern is easy and working it in panels makes it a breeze!
