A small burst of color flashes along with your little sprite in the Tiny Shadow Box cardigan and hat set. Play with color using simple slip-stitch colorwork to add a “pop” to the yoke of this classic.

The cardigan is constructed from the bottom up, in the round to the armholes. Sleeves are knit separately in the round. Body and sleeves are joined before the colorwork yoke is knit to complete the cardigan. The hat is knit in the round.
