Chloris was a nymph whose beauty seduced Zephyr, who made her the goddess of flowers. While waiting for real flowers to start growing, why not cover our knitwear with them? This cardigan is knitted from the bottom up, in one piece and seamless. With the warmth of the CASA, it is perfect for mid-season and its cooler days, while remaining a harbinger of good weather to come.

Continue keeping the pattern as established until 16.5 (17, 17.5, 18, 19.5, 21) cm in total height. Put on hold and knit a second sleeve in the same way.

The jacquard pattern must continue to be worked as established, even if it is no longer mentioned in the pattern.

Put 5 (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) stitches from the body and 5 (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) from a sleeve on hold (be careful to center the stitches on the sleeve so that the increases are down).
