Fairy Ring Cardigan Knitting Pattern by Katie Green
Designed by Katie Green, this printed booklet contains the Fairy Ring Cardigan knitting pattern for both kids and adults.
Knitted in DK weight yarn, in the round from the top down, with a playful colourwork yoke adorned with fly agaric fungi. Button bands are worked after cutting the steek, and the neckband picked up from a provisional cast-on. Lengthening or shortening the body is straightforward, but if adding length, ensure you have sufficient extra yarn.
The fully illustrated booklet is 28 pages in black and white, with a full colour cover and charts, printed in the UK on 100% recycled paper.
