With seamless top-down construction and a dramatic brioche shawl collar, this cardigan provides for an elegant and absorbing knit. The pattern includes 12 sizes, two length options, written and charted instructions for the brioche waves, and 5 video tutorials that cover everything from choosing the correct size to picking up stitches and working the i-cord bind off along the edges of the collar. – Jacqueline Cieslak

Water Bearer Cropped Bundles by Jacqueline Cieslak with Ritual Dyes
The Water Bearer sweater is inspired by the Aquarius horoscope, created with Ritual Dyes in their star-sign inspired Zodiac Yarn!
Jacqueline chose Priestess in colourway ‘Aquarius’ for this cute cropped cardigan and we love the way it looks. Our founder Imogen has her version in colourway ‘Capricorn’, a gorgeous maroon.
We created bundles for the cropped version of this cardigan in its original Priestess colourway, but feel free to check out the pattern on Ravelry for the full description including the full length cardigan.
