Folklore Cardigan Pattern

Don't fret if you happened to miss the boat buying the Taylor Swift cardigan sweater. This Folklore Cardigan Pattern is nearly identical to the original. While it will take some experience and comfort with cables and color changes, the end result of this Taylor Swift knit sweater is so worth the time put in. Featuring the same chunky cabled design, slouchy fit, and black trim, you just need to provide some embroidered stars to make it perfect. (P.S. - swap out the black for red to make the alternative version!)
