Humle Fuzzy Cardigan
Humle Fuzzy Cardigan - rustic Swedish wool together held with a strand of fine mohair and silk makes a soft and warm fabric, perfect for a nice everyday cardigan. The lace panel that resembles hop cones, hence the name (humle means hop in Swedish), decorates the shoulders beatifully. Feel free to choose if you want to knit the lace in a contrasting colour or knit the whole cardigan in a single colour. The look will be different, but just as nice.
The cardigan is worked top down seamlessly. To ensure that the neckline stays firmly in place, it is worked afterwards. This makes the cardigan keep its shape better. I wish you successful knitting!
