The cosy and classic Turtle Dove Cardigan is inspired by a pullover of the same name, one of Melissa Clulow’s first and most popular patterns. Intended to be soft and light, the cardigan is knitted holding two strands of mohair with a strand of woolly, non-superwash yarn. Soothing Stockinette Stitch is framed by deep raglans and twisted rib at the collar, front bands and cuffs. This top-down cardigan is the perfect companion over jeans and a tee, a dress, or even pyjamas for weekend lounging!
