Inspired by the magical metamorphosis of ferns in European folklore, Changeling by designer Karel Chan is a show-stopping long-sleeved cardigan in stranded colourwork that also proposes a pullover variation. Worked seamlessly from the top down with a compound raglan construction and short row collar shaping, it features an all-over botanical motif, dip stitch details, and hidden snap buttons for the steeked cardigan version.
The kit includes the following colourways in the required quantities on British 4-Ply from Les Garçons. The pattern is not included; it is available on Ravelry.
Main colour (3 to 5 skeins, 100 g): “Louis’s Shade”
Contrasting colour (2 or 3 skeins, 100 g): “Vincent’s Highland Coo”
