Loop - Winter Whispers
Our beautiful new pattern designed by Paulina Popiolek for Loop London!
A little gem to keep you cosy and looking beautiful all at the same time.
Our cropped cardigan, with an unusual cable motif on the yoke, is worked seamlessly in the softest Alpaca Tweed yarn hand-dyed especially for Loop.
Knit in hand-dyed The Border Mill Alpaca Tweed in our bespoke colour 'Vintage Pink'. It would be gorgeous in any of the colours though!

PATTERN NOTES
The cardigan is worked flat in rows from the bottom upwards. Sleeves are worked separately in the round to the underarms before joining with the body to work the yoke in one piece, gradually decreasing towards the neckline. Stitches are then picked up along the fronts for the button bands.
As with all hand-dyed yarns, we recommend you alternate skeins when knitting.
