Handsome Isle cardigan features a subtle texture pattern over the body which has a similar thickness as the stranded colourwork, ensuring the finished garment is cosy all over.
This cardigan is worked flat, in one piece, from the bottom up. Sleeves are worked in the round, then joined for the yoke.
This is a stranded colourwork pattern, with no more than 2 colours used at any time and very short floats, perfect for a first stranded colourwork project.
