Kate, Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge, K-Middy, call her what you will, everyone is after a bit of Kate’s elegant style …

Ever since the royal wedding day, we have had a stream of callers ringing through to the office in search of a pattern to recreate the cream angora bolero Kate Middleton wore to her evening-do. We’ve come up with a gorgeous look-a-like pattern which first appeared in Rowan Winter Gifts, and is now available on Knit Rowan as a free download.

To get the full Kate Middleton look, we advise you substitute the pattern’s Pure Silk for two ends of Kidsilk Haze (shade 634, cream) to create the fluffy look of angora.

Keep the buttons low on the cardigan, and add tiny pearl shank buttons and you’re ready to shine just like a pretty princess!
