Lilja - Wool Green Cardigan Sweater Knitting Kit

Lilja — Lily. A distinctive buttoned cardigan knitted sideways: first one sleeve, then the body in the round, then the other sleeve, so the patterned bands run vertically. The body is chunky Álafosslopi in highland green with light beige, and the bands are worked in five Léttlopi shades. Finished with crocheted button bands.
