This cozy cardi lets you wrap yourself up in the character Groot. Paired with a cushy 100% Targhee yarn, you + this pattern make for an Awesome Mix:)

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top-down in a heavy worsted/light aran yarn, and features a tree-like cable panel (both charted and written out) on the back with smaller cables along the v-neck front that mimic the look of branches.

The set-in sleeves are worked after the bodice is complete by picking up stitches all around the armscye and shaping the cap with short rows. The cardi is seamless except for the patch pockets which are worked separately, and sewn on later.

The fit is a relaxed grandpa-style, intended to be worn with 1-3” of positive ease. The model measures to a 33” bust and is wearing size 35”.
