As you begin shaping, the pattern evolves, introducing new floral elements into your field of flow-ers. The use of stranded colourwork with Merino wool single ply yarn gives the knitted fabric a beautiful drape. ...

I’m a huge fan of cardigans since they’re incredibly versatile and can be worn over everything from t-shirts and dresses to sweaters. Inspired by my love of butterflies, this cardigan is perfect for adding a gorgeous, uplifting pop of colour to your wardrobe from season to season. Knitted in the round and steeked, the design features dropped sh...
