- Scissors: Sharp scissors for cutting yarn as you go.
- Yarn Needle: You’ll need a large, blunt yarn needle for weaving in all those ends neatly!
- Stitch markers: Use stitch markers to mark important points like the Sleeve Edge or the beginning of the rounds.
- Measuring Tape: Measuring tape can help for checking gauge and taking body measurements for any needed adjustments.

Pattern Notes
- Pattern written in US terms.
- Hexagons will look “ruffled” and not lay flat. This is correct.
- To achieve the cardigan’s striped look, separate the yarn colors by rolling each color from the skein into a smaller ball. Then, use a different color for each round to create a unique cardigan all your own!
- Ch 3 counts as a dc. Optionally, use standing dc to attach new yarn.
- Pattern is worked in joined rounds without turning unless otherwise indicated. Each round will be worked on the right side.
- Change Color: Attach new yarn color with a sl st into ch-2 space directly BEFORE beginning Ch 3 of each round.
- Create your last cluster in the same ch-2 space as the beginning cluster.
- Keep stitch markers placed in Row 1 for adding Width and Length section in same stitch until after shoulder seaming. The marker designates where the seam will end.
