Shoreline Cardigan Pattern Only | Faerie Folk DK Donegal Tweed

Shoreline Cardigan - Pattern designed by Ailbíona McLochlainn

This simple garter stitch knit is more than meets the eye! Designed for coastal walks in temperamental Irish weather, the Shoreline Cardigan is a chameleon. With a few quick button-flicks, it transforms from an open-collar top with plenty of ventilation, to a fully fortified jacket ready to brave the elements. Wear it closed, or wear it open. And enjoy your coastal walk, whatever the weather.
