THIS LIGHT, soft and draping cardigan from Bronagh Miskelly features two mirrored panels of lace on the front. Her round-necked design is knitted in pieces, then the shoulders are joined with a three-needle cast-off before the ribbed bands are added. The special Bluefaced Leicester-cashmere yarn from KC Collection brings an incredible softness and lustre; this is available in 10 sophisticated shades.
