Tundra Cardigan

Patterns / Sweaters

When I finished knitting the pullover version of Tundra and tried it on, the very first thing that came to mind for me was that it needed thumbholes in the cuffs of the sleeves. The Tundra Cardi was born from that very thought, and I knew I’d be making another version of this sweater to include the thumbholes—and why not make it into a cardigan?
