This cocoon cardigan is part of my Knit Stars class on Purl Inlay Colorwork. A new and exciting way to work colorwork patterns, a blend in between weaving and knitting.
The pattern is inspired by the tradicional weavers motif forme the Alentejo wool blankets. The pattern is called “Espiga” that means wheat head.

Join us in Season 10 to learn all about this amazing technique and knit this beautiful cardigan.
