Loop - Cloud Cardigan Pattern
Cloud is available as either a printed pattern that we post to you or a PDF download. Please make sure to choose the format you prefer from the drop-down menu.
The coziest of cardigans is based on one of Susan's favourite old knits. This is more like a bomber or varsity jacket that you'll wind up wearing all the time. It's so soft, cuddly, and cosy, we had to name it Cloud.
We have also made kits of this beautiful design, which include the printed pattern.
