The Vellum cardigan is a bottom-up cardigan with a colourwork yoke and colourwork details at the wrists. It is knitted in the round with a steek. Vellum is worked in a beautiful artisan yarn from Blacker Yarns, Tamar Lustre DK.

The pattern is fully charted and written out. It includes a schematic and tips on how to modify fit.

Vellum is inspired by the laborious processes involved in producing medieval manuscripts. The colour palette takes its cue from manuscripts with rich jewel tones framing a neutral main colour.

Suitable for intermediate knitters.
