The simple, straight fit of this cardigan is so easy to combine. So, button it up over a roll-neck on crisp British mornings or drape it over your shoulders on country walks in the Yorkshire moors. The fairisle trim celebrates God’s own country and includes the white rose of Yorkshire for a fun northern twist on a classic fairisle.

You will need:
A pair of knitting needles both sizes US 3 (3.25 mm) and US 6 (4.0 mm)
A 40” (100 cm) circular needle in both sizes US 3 (3.25 mm) and US 6 (4.0 mm)

  • N.B.: The circular needles specified are longer lengths for doing the Magic Loop method on the sleeves, which are worked in the round. When using needles for a smaller circumference, you may use double pointed needles or shorter circular needles as preferred.
