Knitting A Summer Cardigan: Preview for July 22, 2023
We have a casual striped cardigan for you this week.
Our relaxed-style cardigan is worked in pure cotton for extra comfort.
We have used Stylecraft Savannah Aran in the shade Desert (3790) to make our summer cardigan. This is a self-striping yarn in 100% cotton. This yarn does all the work in creating the striped effect.
You can find out more about the yarn, view alternative shades and find a local stockist at www.stylecraft-yarns.co.uk.
Difficulty Level

We have graded this cardigan as an easy knit. It has raglan shaping, which we know is popular with many of you.
The overall pattern is achieved by repeating a P1, K4 repeat on the right side and a purl row on the wrong side. It also features garter-stitch edgings.
Sizes range from 76/81 cm (30/32 ins) and actual size is around 16/11 cm (6/4 ins) bigger, to give a loose, comfortable fit.
In addition to the yarn, you will need four buttons and ours came from www.duttonsforbuttons.co.uk who have a huge range available.
With its combination of a soft, cotton yarn, bright colours and raglan shapings, we believe this cardigan is a real winner.
