The “Zoe” Cardigan

Hi friends! Today I am posting Part 1 of my sweater pattern. I named it “Zoe” after a friend who first introduced me to the lovely chunky cardigan. She was a really good friend in college and she let me raid her closet..almost every day! And of course, she had a closet full of sweaters that she had gotten from Goodwill. Here we are on my wedding day back in 2013. Love her to pieces! 💜

Here it is! The Zoe Cardigan in the color Teal.
