We love the new little Sky Cardi pattern in Making No. 5! The founder and editor of Making Zine, Carrie Bostick Hoge, has designed a super sweet open fronted cardigan out of our locally sourced wool yarn, Flock! Sky has a beautiful stitch pattern on the collar and band that is mirrored on the sleeves.

Carrie says: "When spring comes and I am outdoors under the bright blue sky, I am a very happy girl. The style of this cardi is one of my favorites and is nicely paired here with the casual, everyday Uniform tunic. But this cardi would also work well with a simple, summery dress."
