“A PLAY with variegated yarn, this cardigan displays what can be achieved when yarns are swapped or rows are shortened and the same mosaic slip stitch pattern is used,” says designer Sandra Nesbitt. “Variegated yarn and a plain solid yarn are used together, to give a bold look to this simply shaped, casual cardigan.” Sandra’s design is knitted in two colourways of West Yorkshire Spinners’ ColourLab yarn.
