GIDDAY: Australian colloquialism for hello. A warm greeting of affection.

Gidday is the comprehensive version of the Gidday Baby cardigan.

Gidday is a superbly simple cardigan. A striped garter stitch circular yoke is accentuated with cute buttons and a stocking stitch body.

This cardigan is knit top down and seamlessly, with added attention paid to the simple details. The body is knit flat and the sleeves are knit in the round. Simple yarn over increases, which can be worked as a feature or closed, are used to shape the yoke.

Gidday is perfect for accentuating those special yarns.

The sample garments have been knit in White Gum Wool 8ply, which is an ethically farmed 100% merino. The story behind White Gum Wool can be seen here. This is a must watch story for yarn lovers.
