A long time coming {Kate knit the original version back in July of 2010!}, the Fable Cardigan, our latest pattern to be published from our Boathouse Collection, is the perfect sweater you will reach for time and time again. Knit using terra in anemone a wonderfully soft single ply blend of alpaca, merino and silk in a cool pale mint green with a subtle tweedy noil, the sweater is designed to be warm and flattering.
Knit in pieces with set-in sleeves for a comfortable fit and well-structured garment, Fable features deep 2 x 2 ribbing, fitted sleeves, sleeve caps, and a wide button band with a shawl collar created using short rows.
Large buttons balance the wide button band and the longer length ensures lots of warmth and a multitude of options for layering.
