Yarn and Construction The concept behind the Am I Too Purple? cardigan revolves around utilizing yarns that boast contrasting textures and weights.

In contrast, the stripes are knitted using either one strand of lace weight mohair paired with one strand of lace weight alpaca, or two strands of plush alpaca yarn for greater solidity and warmth. This unique combination creates a visually striking effect, giving the cardigan a depth and character that you'll love.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for a stylish project, the Am I Too Purple? cardigan is an ideal addition to your wardrobe. Elevate your knitting repertoire and stay cozy in style with this delightful pattern that embodies comfort and flair!
