We don't need to tell you pink goes good with green, but this Wicked version of the Leith Cardigan proves it🩷💚 Designed with an intarsia divide down the back, this pattern offers ample opportunity to play with color blocking and stripes. We jumped at the chance to represent both Glinda and Elphaba in this easy fitting and beautifully wearable cardigan because you simply cannot make us choose! We won't ask you to either😘
The Leith Cardigan is a drop shoulder, relaxed fit garment worked from the bottom up with a double-knit button-band and intarsia division down the back that lets you play with color blocking and stripes.

Important Note: all yarn is dyed in fairly small batches - meaning that each skein, while using the same dye recipe, will be slightly unique due to the nature of my dyeing process. additionally, while I do my best to make sure the photo matches the actual skeins, color may vary slightly from screen to screen (phone, computer. etc.)
