Rosemary Cardigan

7,50 

The Rosemary cardigan is a very simple pattern which is worked top-down, starting at the neckline and constructed downwards with raglan increases. At the height of the armhole, body and sleeves are split and worked separately. The two-colour combination applies simple but fun accents and makes the cardigan stand out from your standard wardrobe. The pattern has been kept very simple specifically to enable new knitters to try their hands and needles at a top-down project. The yarn used in the model is a mix of mohair, nettle fiber, and wool, which results in both a warm and soft cardigan, perfect for chilly summer nights or mid-season wear.
