Button up this classy, straight-fitting cardigan over a turtle neck shirt on crisp New Zealand mornings or drape it over your shoulders on the trail or exploring the city. The Britian-inspired fairisle trim celebrates the white rose of Yorkshire for a fun twist on a classic fairisle. Back and fronts are worked flat from the bottom up, in one piece, with a circular needle. Fairisle pattern is charted. Some seaming is required.

Sirdar Haworth Tweed has the richly-nepped look of popular wool tweeds in a soft merino blend that’s softer and lighter to wear.

When substituting yarn, compare the tension gauge of the pattern and the yarn. Working a tension square to determine the suitability of the yarn as a substitute is recommended - to compare the tension for sizing but also to test whether it creates the fabric you are after.

To determine the quantity needed, compare the total meterage needed in the pattern to the meterage on the substitute.
