Feminine touches abound on this attractive cardigan by Emma Wright. The Fair Isle yoke draws the eye, worked in pastel shades which stand out against the teal coloured body. The design also features picot edgings, a colourwork band around the lower hem, and decorative eyelets on the button bands. The garment is worked in one piece to the armholes, then joined with the sleeves to work the yoke. It’s knitted in the wonderfully smooth and soft Almerino DK yarn from Rooster.
