KIRKHILL - a spacious and becoming cardigan; an indispensable garment for everyday use. The cardigan here is with a zip fastener in Shetland wool for women and men. The cardigan can have pockets and/or buttons - everything is included in the pattern. The rib pattern is 2/2 rib. Super fit.
Worked flat on circular needle due to the number of stitches. Accurate written pattern.
I recommend to sew in the zip fastener by hand - and not by machine as on the photo.
Required skill level from 1 (basic) to 5 (advanced): 3.
