Knitting pattern for Ingrid cardigan

Ingrid is our interpretation of the most beautiful, fluffy, silk mohair cardigan or summer jacket. Perfect across bare shoulders on a summer evening, where the sun is about to go down and the view of the sea and the sunset is enjoyed from the top of a sand dune in Kandestederne by the North Sea in North Jutland, Denmark. You can also cram it into a bag when going out.

Ingrid can be knitted in different varitions. The pattern explains how to knit it short or long, striped or monocolor. The model is very oversize, which means app. 30 cm / 11. more than the chest width and with deep armholes.
