Bambasala is an Aran weight Cardigan with sneaky pockets – they’re double knitted but there are also instructions for simpler inline pockets (tutorial link).

ERRATA: See below¹

The yarn, Little Grey Sheep Gotland Aran, is produced on Emma’s farm and has warmth, a slight halo, loft, and just the right sort of whiff of sheep to it. I want to knit with it forever.

Just like the Ziggurat (Simple Ziggurat), Bambasala has these features:

• tailored shoulders
• seamless
• knitted top down
• optional waist (and rear) shaping
• optional bust darts
• bold colour blocks
• simple, pleasing lines
• set in sleeves

The collar, button bands, and pockets are also knitted as you go. Not a seam in sight. Not one.
