From the Knit Rowan website:
Originally featured in Rowan Magazine 30, Sarah Dallas’ charming cardigan remains a beloved design among Rowan knitters. This relaxed, boxy cardigan is worked in Kidsilk Haze held double throughout and the updated colour palette showcases seven contemporary shades. The striped pattern is framed by a check border and finished with an elegant, frilled edging.

Flora MacDonald has previously been featured in Rowan Magazines 30 & 72 in different colourways.

You may also wish to use circular needles in both sizes at least 40” (100 cm) long for ease.

You will need 6 metal buttons, approximately 5/8” (15mm)
