The Candy cardigan is something special. The view from the front shows a classic round-neck cardigan in Half Fisherman’s rib pattern with an almost invisible button placket next to the I-cord panel, very simple. On the side, a brioche pattern runs from the shoulder, along the arm to the cuff. This pattern can also be seen on the side of the body.
Overall, a simple and clean design that is disrupted by the soft, fluffy material mix. A luxury sock yarn is used together with a Suri thread for sample 1 (the coral shade gives the cardigan its name).
The second version (Sample 2) in a dark blue, here too two yarns were knitted together, with spectacular sleeves where the pattern ends in a leaf motif.
