Crowberry £4.75
Cabled berries on a flattering reverse stocking stitch cardigan
A cable-berry detail provides a pretty interest to this elegant light-weight cardigan. Suitable to wear in spring and on cool summer evenings, it has three-quarter length sleeves and hourglass shaping to provide a flattering fit. This simple reverse stocking stitch knit uses a top-down raglan construction with eyelet holes for increases in the yoke and features an i-cord edging with button holes. Sleeves are knitted in the round on the wrong side for ease with an i-cord cuff.
Crowberries are pretty evergreen shrubs that can be found on the Pennine Moors. They bear dark purple edible berries and have glossy green leaves.
