Turn a wardrobe staple into a fashion statement with Jo Allport’s gorgeous speckled-yarn cardi.

“I love this essential summer cardigan. Its split hemline and deep edges in lace remind me of dandelion clocks drifting slowly in the breeze.” - Jo Allport

Combining classic shapes with mesmerising yarns is a marriage made in heaven. This button-up cardigan, worked in a bouncy fashion chainette tape, delivers in both style and interest. It comes with light side shaping and three-quarter length sleeves, making it relatively quick to knit too! Once you’ve finished cooing over the gorgeous speckled yarn we’re sure you’ll love knitting the lacy hems and cuffs.
