Step out in style with Marled Hoody Cardigan- a touch of casual charm!
This cardigan provides a loose, boxy fit and features drop shoulders, horizontal inset (insert) pockets, hood and is knitted using marled arran (worsted) weight yarn. You can achieve marled effects yourself by holding two, three or more strands together. Combining two strands of yarn together is very typical but if you have thin yarns, you can put more strands. Options are endless. Make sure to adjust needle size to obtain the correct gauge.
The pattern comes with written instructions and pictures showing how to work horizontal inset pockets.

NB Needle size is only a guide - if you get too many stitches for 10cm, take a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches for 10cm, take a smaller needle size. It’s very important to check your gauge (tension) before starting as working to the wrong tension will mean your garment won’t be size shown.
