Surpris is my newest invention, a fun cardigan for the small girls – short in the front and long in the back, with a perfect opportunity to play with different colors. It’s all knitted seamless and top-down in one piece, and not a wrap in sight! Instructions are given for both a long and a short version.

Note: Surpris for adults is in the making!

Also, the yardage estimates are for the longer skirt version.
