Cloud Cardigan Kit
If you are near Loop, come see the samples in our Islington shop!
Now it's time to knit for you!
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.
Designed by Fabienne Gassman with Susan of Loop London
