DEIMA'S CROCHET CARDI
Another absolute favorite Deima classic is now finally available for those of you who want to knit it yourself. CROCHET CARDI is a cute raglan design, with wide sleeves, and fun crochet details.
The cardigan is knitted from the bottom up. The body and the two sleeves are knitted separately, in 3 parts.

The barrettes for the buttons are made with chain stitches and sewn on as small loops at the end.
