The knitted cardigan we present to you today is very simple to make, and its uniqueness lies entirely in the chosen yarn: Miss Noodle. It’s a very thick, elastic, and mesh-like tape yarn made of pure extra fine merino wool. As its name suggests, it resembles traditional Japanese pasta long and flat.
This cardigan will give you both pleasant warmth and an unusual look. If you are looking for an item that stands out from typical fashion covers, you’ve found it!
