More Details
Otira Cardigan is so easy to wear. Pop her on with your favourite jeans or dress her up with a gorgeous dress and heels for a night on the town. The waterfall front opening drapes so beautifully that you don’t need to add buttons, but if you like to do your cardigans up, you could easily add a wee button at each corner of the waterfall and wear her ballet cardigan style.
The striking hem detail is where Otira Cardigan gets her name. It reminds me of the girders on all the bridges as we thread our way precariously through the Otira Gorge, in New Zealand’s South Island. You will be working top down, using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, SusieM on Ravelry http://ravelry.com/people/SusieMSizes
