Comments

"This is a fairly easy pattern and I think would make a great Christmas cardiganespecially if done in a beautiful metallic red or green or even a snowy white color. Perfect for those holiday gatherings. Will look equally chic with a pair of skinny jeans or your go to LBD for holiday parties."
