Time to mix-it-up babes! This oh so cosy cardi is a total everyday outfit sprucer-upper. Knit with 2 hues in a bold stripe this cardi has a fab slouchy fit, ribbed hem and cuffs and colour-pop edging. Size down for a more regular fit. This cardigan uses simple stitches and is knit flat from the bottom up. To finish, the cardi is sewn together and circular needles are introduced for the edging - but never fear! We’ll be with you all the way.
