Skill Level

A long line cardigan offers extra warmth and a flattering silhouette and this Alpaca Soft design doesn’t disappoint. This beautiful Fair Isle cardigan from Lisa Richardson is knitted sideways, cuff to cuff, with the Fair Isle creating a vertical pattern which adds to the sense of length. Deep ribs run the length of the edge-to-edge fronts and these are echoed with cosy turn back cuffs. The pattern also includes a separate belt to tie around the waist for a more fitted look.
