This is a truly is a soft and fluffy cardigan with a simple and elegant honeycomb cable pattern by Anne Ventzel.
The cardigan is worked from the top down. First the neck edge for the back of the neck is worked, then the back section of the yoke is worked down from there. After this, stitches are picked up along the back shoulders for the front sections of the yoke. The back and fronts are joined at the bottom of the armholes and the body is worked back and forth across all stitches to the hem.
We opted for a combination of Moretta MINI and Lunaris, as we were drawn by the texture they yield and the subtle heathery color that comes out for the fabric.
If you prefer a more colourful version, we suggest to use A Pure and Simple Wool MINI that would work great too!
