Versatile, classic, and endlessly customizable—meet the Touch 134 Wildflowers Pattern!
Whether you are looking for a breezy warm-weather layer or a cozy year-round staple, this flattering V-neck cardigan lets you choose between short sleeves and long sleeves. Knitted flat from the bottom up on straight needles with separate back and front pieces, it gives you plenty of room to play with texture and colour—knit it in a single 8ply yarn, hold a 4ply merino together with a fluffy silk mohair for a soft halo, or work crisp 6-row and 2-row stripes for a bold graphic finish.
Please note: Yarn, needles, and notions are sold separately.

Before You Cast On
Take a few minutes to knit a tension swatch on your 4 mm needles, then wash and block it before measuring. Confirming your stitch and row gauge upfront ensures your finished cardigan matches the chest and length measurements in the size guide—especially if you are holding two strands together or adjusting the body length before the armhole shaping. Always buy full balls of yarn, and consider tossing an extra ball into your cart for swatching or length adjustments.
