A striking cardi, inspired my youngest daughter. Just like her, it is bold and beautiful!

It’s knitted in 2 DK yarns using slip stitches to create a rich textured knit that is extremely versatile and a real treat to wear. The cardigan is knit from the bottom up, in separate panels which are then combined before knitting the collar in one piece. This showcases a couple of beautiful slipped stitch patterns and is great fun to knit and wear, perfect for autumn and all the way through to spring.

This is a one-size pattern. It is knitted in Native Yarns Orwell Alpaca/Merino/Silk DK in the Rowan shade and Native Yarns Saxmundham Alpaca/BFL DK in Devona.
