Classic English cricket cardigan has a handsome cable design and stripes in fresh summer colours.

THE CRICKET CARDIGAN is an enduring style that is popular with men of all ages. Traditionally knitted in cream wool with contrasting stripes along the hems and button bands, they are usually cabled and feature chunky buttons.

Martin Storey has added his own stamp
to this classic garment, using a smart braided cable stitch pattern and stripes in fresh, summery shades.

The cardigan is knitted in Rowan Wool Cotton, a double-knit yarn that is ideal for cosy summer projects like this one and
offers great stitch definition, with the added benefit of being machine-washable. Rowan Wool Cotton comes in a lovely range of muted tones, giving you the option o f
personalising your garment by knitting the stripes in different shades, such as navy and dark red. Make one to show support for your county team, or take inspiration
from the trend for women wearing men’s slouchy jumpers and knit one for yourself in more feminine shades.
