Mandala Cardi

"The Mandala Cardi is a light and airy cardigan, with a lot of drape and a wide, flared bottom. It is a great transition piece as the summer nights begin to cool. This cardi is nearly seamless; the only seams are the shoulder seams. It is knit from the bottom up, decreasing to allow for the flare. The upper back and front sections are knit separately and then joined at the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up at the armholes and worked in the round with no decreases. The sleeves are slim for a more fitted look, but can easily be adjusted to fit any size arm. The length can also be adjusted easily."
