Kannolla Cardigan Knitting Pattern by Tiina Huhtaniemi, Titityy. knitting pattern now - available in English and Finnish as instant download by email after purchase.
Kannolla cardigan is worked with Tukuwool DK and silk mohair on big needles. The loose, thick fabric drapes well and it warms you like a hug on a cold day. Please note that the cardigan is long, and the piece will stretch when soaked. The cardigan is worked seamlessly top-down, and the design is a simplified boxy cardigan. The shoulders are shaped with short rows.
The sample is worked with colours that mirror the Finnish forest landscape – grey and brown together with moss-coloured silk mohair that reminds me of the old dried-up tree stumps of a quiet forest. If you’re not a friend of heathered shades, try combining white and yellow wool with yellow silk mohair for a completely different colour scale.
