Simply Chic

Our easy-to-knit cardigan will take you into spring in style – and the instructions offer several options for personalising the pattern.

CARDI NOTES

A cardigan is a soft alternative to a structured jacket, making it an ideal backdrop for accessories such as scarves and jewellery.

This pattern lends itself to many looks. The body is knitted in one piece, so it doesn’t get any easier.

If you’re a crocheter, finishing the edges with a scallop pattern will give the garment a romantic finish. The possibilities are endless.

THIS cardigan with its short rolled-up sleeves is the ideal project for beginners. But it’s also a stalwart for knitters who love doing their own thing with a basic pattern.
