Don’t miss the detail on this pretty and elegant cardigan in Rowan Fine Milk Cotton. Look closely at the variegated rib edging and you’ll see that some pieces of ribbing are longer than others, and taper off into tiny flower bud bobbles knitted into the design.

This free knitting pattern is an absolute delight to look at and to wear. Made in Rowan Fine Milk Cotton, its classic style means you can wear it with anything from jeans to dresses.

The cardigan is knitted mostly in a single colour but the clever flower detailing is picked out in three other colours. There are so many colours you could try...

Imagine how different our free knitting pattern would look if you chose a darker background colour, and picked out the flowers in bright contrasting shades. Check out Rowan’s sweetie inspired shade card, and pick and mix your own selection! Just to get your mouth watering, what about... the main cardigan in Liquorice, with details in Curly Wurly, Jelly Baby and Water Bomb? Or Bubble Gum plus Bon Bon, Shrimp and Apple Pips? Yum.
