Amelia
Let your hands go on a delicious knitting journey: Amelia is the cardigan of handmade dreams – effortlessly gorgeous to wear and incredibly satisfying to create.
Her smooth raglan lines, which travel with the line of your shoulders, make her oh-so-comfortable; her soft and light fabric gives you the perfect amount of warmth; and her beautiful ribbed and picot details and fun techniques are the jewels in the crown of this stunning top-down, fingering-weight cardigan.
Perfect for experienced and new garment knitters looking for a cardigan adventure, Amelia is the ideal opportunity to experiment with colour, new stitches, and a splash of mohair.
