Isalys Cardigan – Printed Pattern – English | Cha' coud

Isalys is the quick and easy-to-make cardigan especially drafted for knit fabrics. With its simple design, it needs only a small amount of fabric — and it is wonderfully versatile: wear it open or closed, as a cardigan with the buttons in front, or turn it around and wear it as a jumper with the buttons down the back.

Two lengths are included: a crop version and a longer one. Isalys suits beginners and is perfect for a first knit-fabric project.
