CROCHET CARDIGAN FAIR ISLE STYLE FOR KIDS
Warm all year cardigan for boys and girls. A heirloom!
This crochet cardigan is inspired by the classic, Scandinavian stranded knitting-patterns.
Being Norwegian, I've learned to appreciate them as part of my cultural inheritance. I’m always looking for methods to achieve the style in crochet!

| When this cardigan was finished, my husband made a clever comment about "Dull colors for kids".
So this is a method to color up dull cardigans!
I have done some needle-work to the cuffs and hem-line.
The tiny flower-sts are called Lazy Daisy, and the blue
V-sts are a variation of the Herringbone stitch.
Full stitch tutorial included in the pattern.

| Pretty!! |

| On the cuffs I covered all grey crochet-sts with flowers, on the hem I made it easier, leaving one grey st between each flower. |
