One year later! Silver Moon Mandala Cardigan CAL
It's been over one year since I've filmed my first pattern for YouTube (Silver Moon Mandala Cardigan) and to celebrate, I'm going to host a crochet along with the pattern!
A year has absolutely flown by and with it, I feel like I've grown as both a designer and a creator. With so much that has changed, it seems only right that I look back on the one piece that started me on my path as a designer.
This piece was originally inspired by Regina Weiss's (Morale Fiber) Lotus Duster (It's a free pattern you can find here). I loved the way it looked, but for practicality reasons, I needed something that was shorter while I worked.
This is going to be in five parts, with instructions written as well as a video to go along with it.
This part covers rounds 1-5 of the Silver Moon Mandala Cardigan. You can get a copy of the full written pattern on either Ravelry or Etsy
