Uncomplicated and effortless to make – unstructured, loose and comfortable. Worked from hem to collar, start with the bobble sway motif and end in a simple garter st yoke. Work the sleeves separately, then join the body and sleeves in one piece. A few short rows make Bobbles and Cobbles flow and sway – seamless (except for the underarm seams!). The defining picot edge is worked last by picking up sts all around the left front, across the back of the neck and down the right front.

For extra femininity tiny crystal beads are added to the top of each bobble and to each point of the picot edge. Cast-off on a larger size needle to give a lovely stretchy edge. The silk fibre in our yarns makes this special cardigan shine.
