Like a cloud

A loose cozy cardigan. Since I was using a fuzzy yarn, I designed a fuss free pattern... The combination of yarns I used feels just exactly like that, like a cloud! So that's the only name that kept popping in my head. This cardigan was initially designed for Curious Handmade's retreat in Bath and has recently been added to Ravelry. **SIZES** XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). Shown in size M on a 36” bust.
