Sirdar 10693 Haworth Tweed Double Knit Striped Crew Neck Cardigan Knitting Pattern [Digital Download]

About the Haworth Tweed Striped Crew Neck Cardigan Knitting Pattern 10693

Create this gorgeous striped cardigan with Sirdar Haworth Tweed. It has a crew neck and has set in sleeves for a closer fit. Or use another double knit yarn with a tension of 28 rows x 22 stitches to 10cm. When substituting yarn do take meterage into account as this yarn has a whopping 165m per 50g.

The construction is a traditional one, knitting a back, front and sleeves and sewing them together. I always find mattress stitch the best way to sew up my garments. However you could knit the back and fronts as one piece up until the armhole then divide. 

The beautiful tweed-like knitted fabric of this softly rustic merino blend has Sirdars Yorkshire home at heart. The richly nepped shades give a rustic texture to plain knits and add interest to textured stitches. Woollen spun, this yarn is more voluminous and offers greater meterage for beautiful more affordable knits.

I do not stock this yarn at the moment but if the demand is there I can review this, let me know on knitone247@gmail.com
