As a child, my father used to give me Ginkgo extract to help me with my memory, but I never remembered to take it! These beautiful leaves are the inspiration behind the Ginkgo Pullover and Cardigan. It’s a top-down round-yoke sweater with an easy to remember, repetitive pattern and a lace section on the yoke. You can choose to make it as a Cardigan or Pullover. It comes in US terms with lots and lots of very helpful pictures. Skill level: Advanced Beginner **Sizes + Measurements** This pattern comes in 8 different sizes.
