Silver Moon Mandala Cardigan CAL Part 5
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 how to make the sleeves of the Silver Moon Mandala Cardigan. You can get a copy of the full written pattern on either Ravelry or Etsy
