“THIS DESIGN was inspired by mellow mists and autumnal shades, and I have used traditional Fair Isle motifs for my V-neck cardigan,” explains Mary Henderson. The garment is worked in the round with steek stitches for the front opening and the armholes, which are reinforced then cut open. Mary has used two beautiful fingering-weight wools from John Arbon Textiles.
