WE LOVE the colour palette Mary Henderson has put together for her intricate cardigan. Bands of Fair Isle feature OXO and heart motifs, as well as delicate ‘peerie’ patterns. Colourful corrugated ribbing is used at the hem, cuffs and neckline, while the button bands are worked in single-colour moss stitch. The cardigan is knitted in the round, incorporating steek stitches which are then cut and reinforced with crochet. It’s worked in Blacker Yarns’ new Tamar Lustre Blend wool, which has a gorgeous drape and shimmer.
