I absolutely love St. Patrick’s Day, because not only is it my little son’s birthday, but it also means that Spring is coming after a long winter! Spring means light and airy garments, and I have the perfect one to share with you! Say ‘hello!’ to the Split-Back Cardi, a lacy darling that is made in one long rectangle with two easy seams!
The Split-Back Cardi is part of a St.Patrick’s Day Blog Hop with some of my favourite designers!
