Mollymawk Cardigan has a cute little stitch pattern on the front panels that I like to call “frowns”. They look like the furrowed brow of the mighty Mollymawk Albatross as he paddles on the surface of the sea, waiting for his next unsuspecting meal to come swimming by.

Your Mollymawk Cardigan is worked from the neck ribbing to the hem, with sleeves picked up from held stitches and button bands added at the end.
