THIS ROUND-NECKED cardigan by Siân Brown has an elegantly textured fabric. The stitch pattern incorporates twisted stitches, double increases and decreases to produce a rippling, leaf-like effect. The cardigan is knitted in Rowan’s Pebble Island yarn, which is spun in Yorkshire using wool sourced from a single farm in the Falkland Islands. It’s available in a palette of 10 warm shades curated by Erika Knight.
