Hi everyone! The Jupiter Cardigan is finally ready! This cardigan uses lace stitches with mostly treble crochet stitches so it works up pretty fast!
I had so much of Lion Brand's Pound of Love (with so many colors and so much yardage) from the Desert Sunset Cardigan (with Granny Squares). This one was actually from the blanket I made recently.
