Knitting Pattern: Liivia Cardigan (by Maria Kostamovaara)
Liivia cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. The patterning on the sleeves is created by working knitted bobbles and crocheted stems.
The pattern for the Liivia cardigan was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Birger Kaipiainen knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Birger Kaipiainen’s iconic ceramic designs.
