“A BORDER of soft pastel colours featuring a simple iris motif combines with a traditional lace pattern to make this snug-fitting, spring cardigan a striking addition to any wardrobe,” says designer Sasha Kagan. “The traditional Fair Isle diamond pattern makes a frame for the flower heads using Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Felted Tweed. Trims are all in classic moss stitch.”

Note: Chart A is worked in stocking stitch using the intarsia method, twisting yarns together at the back of the work when changing colour. Yarns F, G and H are used held DOUBLE throughout.
