SARAH HATTON’S loose, lacy cardigan design is pretty yet relaxed. Fastened by a single button, it’s ideal for layering over summer dresses and blouses, and will suit all figures. Sarah has used an attractive lace and mock cable stitch pattern for the body, paired with a moss stitch panel across the shoulders. The garment is knitted in Rowan’s new spring-summer yarn, Softyak; this is a blend of cotton, yak fibre and nylon which has a lovely soft handle. It’s available in 14 sophisticated shades.
