Fintry is a pretty Stirlingshire village close to where I live. Though Fintry nestles against the North face of the rugged Campsie Fells, its direct environs have a gentle and pastoral feel, with verdant lanes, hedgerows, and fields. In summer, the landscape around Fintry is extraordinarily green and pleasingly textured – features which are celebrated in this cardigan.

Worked in a single colour of a beautiful hand-dyed yarn, such as the Old Maiden Aunt Corriedale used here, this garment makes simple and versatile use of the seamless yoke construction. The button bands are knit continuously with the body and yoke, and the neckline is shaped with short rows, which are wedged between the moss stitch bands to create a flattering front scoop.
