Full of quiet nostalgia and stitched with love, Haberdasher St cardigan is an old favourite – lovingly rediscovered and given a fresh, playful twist. She’s soft, roomy, and gently sentimental – the kind of knit that feels like a walk down a familiar lane, nestled between brick flats and leafy trees – a quiet step back in time.

Worked from the top, twisting cables meander down the front and spill happily into the hem and cuffs. The modified drop-shoulder silhouette feels calm and thoughtful, while the deep V-neck and full sleeves bring comfy, slouchy charm.

She’s the cardigan you reach for when you’re feeling creative, a bit sentimental, and ready to stitch something that feels like home. The pattern includes both charts and written instructions, so you can settle in and knit your way – with a hot mug, a good book, and nothing that needs doing in a hurry.
