Pepper



Pepper is a very playful and modern girl’s cardigan featuring cute pockets and simple lines.  It is a part of the “Spice Girls” series of cardigans designed for everyday wear, and each one has a little unique spice of their own.
The cardigan has a very simple construction – top down raglan, and double seed stitch gives the cardigan its peppery texture. It can be worked in a solid color or two colors for an extra contrast. There is a little bit of sewing required for the pockets and the collar, other than that it is completely seamless.
