NEW!! KNITTING PATTERN -- Rae-Nore Cardigan - P280

$8.80

A great introduction into Fair Isle knitting for those knitters who are ready to go up to the next level.

This little cardigan is a relatively easy knit, and would make a quick dress-me-up for any outfit. Knitted from the top down with sleeves knitted in the round, so no seaming required. Please note this cardigan has a slightly scooped/low line neckline. The yoke has an easy Fair Isle pattern, and a simple little textured pattern. All rows are written out in full, as well as providing a Chart for the Fair Isle for those who like to follow charts. The simple Fair Isle pattern is also around the hemline.
