Prism Cardigan - pattern release

Warm Monday Wishes from ViTalina Craft! I've got a great news - Knitting pattern for Prism Cardigan has been published to Raverly and Lovecraft.

Prism Cardigan is the most comfortable garment I've ever designed. The cardigan has all my favourite features - tiny pockets at front parts, pretty cable at the back, V-neck. The cardigan has a straight silhouette and set in sleeves. There is also a pretty tiny cables along the front bands which are knitted in process together with front parts.

The cardigan is knitted with DK weight yarn. For this project I have chosen Concept Cotton Yak  yarn by Katia. It is my very first experience with such an interesting yarn blend as well as with Katia yarn.  The cardigan is turned out great. Thanks to the wool, it is warm enough for the winter time and, thanks to the cotton, it is not itchy at all. The yarn doesn't change after washing and blocking. 

The cardigan was successfully test knitted on Ravelry. Please see some project pages from my lovely test knitting team for some inspiration and yarn ideas
