This cardigan is also available as a complete crochet kit

Yarn and colors:
You crochet this cardigan with 1 strand MYPZ Chunky Kidmohair DK (available online). For the bands we have used MYPZ Bold Luxury and MYPZ Super Soft Merino DK.

Use of color: This cardigan requires you to tie many pieces of yarn together. Cut random lengths of each color (we have used lengths of ± 140cm) . The longer your piece of yarn, the wider that color will be in your cardigan. Tie all the lengths together into a large ball. You need to make tight knots! These knots can be visible in your work (we like that!)
