Designed especially for the Cool Wool Curated Collection Edition 2 this is a revisit to my much loved (and worn) Cadgwith Cardigan. I have echoed the traditional Cornish Gansey stitch, the Lizard Lattice over the balloon sleeves. Depending on where fishermen worked would influence the stitch pattern used in their hand knitted indigo blue jumpers. Cadgwith is one of the few remaining fishing villages on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. With stunning scenery cascading into the sea between high cliffs this jumper is the perfect solution when the autumnal and winter storms come rolling in. The jumper is knitted top down in one piece with sleeves divided off and knitted in the round. It is a comfortable fit with a wide folded neckline and balloon sleeves.

Difficulty
Knitted from the top down you will need to be able to knit and purl, make stitches to create the raglan and knit in the round. There is however minimal sewing with just the ends to tuck away.

Yarn and Notions
