Willa Knitting Pattern
Willa is a cardigan with set in sleeves and a soft scoop neck. The classic fit makes it versatile enough to dress up with a blouse or wear with her favorite jeans.
Willa appears to be a more complicated knit than it actually is. The cabled affect is achieved without cabling and the front button band is a simple garter stitch band with a few yarn-overs for button holes.

Darling sweater! I wish it came in adult sizes (or conversely that I was a size 14).

I want to knit this for myself- any plans to upsize for adults? It's lovely. Just what I've been looking for.

Stunning, what a beautiful classic knit for an equally classic beauty of a girl. This may be Momo's fall sweater for this year. It is so perfect!
