NOTES
Barbicel was origianlly published in Pom Pom Quarterly’s
Issue 22: Autumn 2017. Barbicel is worked separately in pieces before seaming together. Stitches are then picked up for the neckband to finish the cardigan. The stranded colourwork pattern is easy to memorise and we recommend you use two balls of yarn C when working a front section – one for rows 6 & 7 and the second for rows 13 & 14 – this way there will be no need to cut yarn C every few rows to reposition it, making for fewer ends to weave in.

If working with Holst Garn Supersoft , it is important to wash the gauge swatch before taking final measurements
as this yarn blooms considerably after washing.
