Cande Pullover Adult & Kids Set
Adult and Kids Crochet Pullover
Cande is the sister pullover to the Candelaria Cardigan. They were both inspired by my Abuelita Cande, whose favorite thing is to sit in a comfy corner of the house with a good book and a warm cup of tea. It is a seamless top-down round-yoke pullover, which allows for customization and comfort. Its lightweight fabric is perfect for keeping warm and layering up during colder months.
