About the Sirdar Stories Striped Cardigan Knitting Pattern 10870
Sirdar developed Stories Chunky especially for the fashion conscious younger makers and the people who crochet their trend-led designs for themselves.
Sirdar Stories Chunky extends their Stories family into fashionable quick knits. The cotton-blend keeps garments lighter so even your slouchiest fashionable makes keep their shape better.
Stories Chunky Cotton/Acrylic blend means your garments will be lighter, keep their shape better, and be cheaper to make than 100% cotton equivalents.
To help with sewing up this garments front and back are knitted in one piece up to the armholes.
