Diorite is a stone, common in Finland, rare in other countries. The Diorite Cardigan is worked from the top down, making the length easily adjustable. The textured stitch pattern is easy to memorize, and the repetition makes the knitting pleasurable. The sample uses two yarns held together, Knitting for Olive Merino and Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair. Choose your length and knit on!

Dioriitti on kivilaji, joka on suhteellisen yleinen Suomessa, mutta harvinainen muissa maissa. Diorite-takki neulotaan ylhäältä alas, joten pituutta voi helposti säädellä, Tekstuurineule on yksinkertainen, joten sen oppii helposti ja kokeneempi neuloja onnistuu ilman palmikkopuikkoa. Mallikappale on neulottu pitäen Knitting for Olive Merinoa ja Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohairia yhdessä.
