THIS royal-blue and white cardigan is quick to knit, cosy to wear. If you feel that royal-blue does not suit you, consider navy and white, red and white, green or yellow and white.

MATERIALS required: Eight skeins “Sun-Glo” shrinkproof or “Wilga” 4-ply fingering wool, shade No. 2101 (royal-blue); 2 skeins “Sun-Glo” shrinkproof or “Wilga” 4-ply fingering wool, shade No. 1075 (white); 2 pairs needles Nos. 10 and 12; 7 white buttons.

NO ordinary cardigan this, as you will agree. And yet it’s so easy to make. NO belt is needed for this cleverly-designed woolly. Very effective, slenderising, too, because of its ribbing. You will note that directions are also given for long sleeves. We advise you to use the wool specified, otherwise success of garment cannot be guaranteed.

Measurements: Length from top of shoulder, 18½ ins. Bust, 32-34 ins. Length of sleeve seam, 5 ins.

Tension: 7 sts., 1 in; 8 rows, 1 in.
