The Sweet Shop Cardigan is inspired by the joy of entering a sweet shop brimming full of colour, with this design more is more, speckled colourful yarn is paired with pearly buttons to give a sense of joy and plenty. You can of course opt for any colour and buttons you like, that’s the fun of knitting after all!
