Cropped Sarasota Cardi

"A spring inspired "T" style cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves designed as part of the Spring Colors Blog Hop. This cardigan is easy to customize to make longer or with more coverage across the front. Yarn Alternatives to Cascade Sarasota: Bernat's Softee Baby Cotton, Lion Brand's Comfy Cotton; I made the size Medium, and used three full skeins. The rest is estimated based on this sample. Time Spent for Medium: Just under 16 hours. Abbreviations: DC, FDC (Foundation Double Crochet - Explained)"
