Yarn kit for the Key Cardigan Kids by PetiteKnit.

The beautiful Key Cardigan features a special striped pattern with charming interlocking details. The pattern is not too difficult to knit and looks wonderful.

You knit the Key Cardigan seamlessly from the top down in the round using Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn. This makes it wonderfully durable, lightweight, and warm. Choose a size with approximately 25 cm of positive ease.
