Martha Cardigan

This is a lovely easy to wear, oversized cardigan. It has been designed for someone who has mastered the basics of knitting: casting on and off, increasing and decreasing, Knit, Purl and includes a very basic cable.

It is made using Rowan Brushed Fleece yarn and knits up quite quickly on 6mm knitting needles. It took me about 50 hours in total to complete.

It was inspired by the cardigans my grandad used to wear, but has been given a feminine 80's vibe with its slightly bomber jacket styling.

The single cable detail on the left front adds some edgy detailing with big patch pockets for all of your essentails. Perfect for when you want to travel light.

The pattern also includes instructions to make the Grace Sweater, a lovely simple variation on this design.

I feel really cool and funky when I wear this cardigan, it looks great with skinny jeans and chunky boots, or wear it at home with your favourite joggers for a warm and cosy evening in.
