Pattern Information

You can’t help but smile when you pick up a skein of chenille yarn. The soft, velvety texture just makes you want to snuggle up, and when knit up into something to wear, you’ll never want to take it off. The Roseate Cardigan uses our Bella Chenille yarn and a lovely eyelet pattern to create a stylish and yet ultra-cozy outerwear piece that’s perfect for everyday wears.
