Cactus Dream

Cactus Dream was born from my need to have a beautiful sweater made in a very beautiful yarn. Cropped with ¾ length sleeves, you will feel simply elegant in this cardigan. It’s the perfect seasonal transition piece too.

It is a simple piece to make with no shaping. Just crochet the pieces and seam, add the edgings and buttons, then you are done. Dress it up with silk and linen or throw it over a pair of jeans, Cactus Dreams will be your go-to cardigan every time you leave the house!
