Knitting Preview: February 23, 2019 Issue


We have a lovely ribbed cardigan in a new yarn.

The Technical Stuff

This cardigan features a ribbed pattern throughout which showcases the yarn beautifully. The yarn is Stylecraft’s Monet in the shade Poppy Fields.

Monet is a lovely blend of harmonious colours that give a fresh look to this painterly effect yarn.

It is 50% cotton and in 100-g balls and you will need between seven and nine balls to complete this cardigan.

Instructions come for six sizes that range from 76/81 cm (30/32 ins) to 127/132 (50/52). Actual size is around 9 – 14 cm (3¾ – 5½ ins) larger for each size. There is a deep V and a four-button fastening.

This lovely cardigan will serve you well through the seasons, a great investment.

The buttons come from Duttons For Buttons and you can find out more about them at www.duttonsforbuttons.co.uk.
