Product Details
I couldn't decide which colour of lovely Birlinn Yarns 4 ply to buy, so I got a ball of each colour and this is the result. I made a colourwork cardigan which aims to reflect the colours and lanscape of the Scottish Hebrides. The cardigan is knitted in the round with a centre front steek. The sleeves are knitted in the round then sleeves and body are joined to form a yoke. Short rows are used after shaping the yoke to provide extra height at the back neck. The steek is cut and button and buttonhole bands are added.
The buttons I used were a gift. Wood or horn buttons would look good.
I made this cardigan for myself then wrote down what I had done. Some people asked me for larger sizes so I have added in two larger sizes.
In the pictures, the cardigan is worn in the first size with about five inches (12cm) of positive ease.
The pattern has not been test knitted in Spindrift. I have recommended colours which are closest to the original shades of Birlinn but they are not an exact match.
