Inspired by my fascination with fall colors, this is the perfect, warm, oversized cardigan knitting pattern for the long U.S. Northeast winters. The Gooseberry Cardigan knitting pattern is a slow, cozy project that requires patience and commitment. The reward is a big, warm hug in the form of a sweater.
