Soulfood

is a cardigan for the soul: to cosy up in, with extra deep pockets for all the things you like to carry with you and with a shawl collar for that extra hug.

Needles and tools: 8 stitch markers, circular needles 4 mm (US 6) and possibly 3.5 mm (US 5) for the cuffs, double pointed needles 4 mm (US 6) or 3.5 mm (US 5) for the cuffs, scissors, wool needle.
If you want to attach buttons, you will need 3-5 buttons, diameter of your choice.

Yarn: I have combined one strand each in fingering and one thread mohair/silk.
