Feel toasty warm and gorgeous with Heidi Kaiser’s new design Toasty Walk!
Heidi's intention was to create a lightweight, rustic cardigan that is easy to wear, warm enough for a cosy walk in cooler weather and uncomplicated to knit seamlessly from the top down.
The slip stitch pattern gives the cardigan a rustic look, while the casual fit with comfortable positive ease and slightly dropped shoulders, along with the colour-contrasting shoulder sections and cuffs, provide a sporty and modern look.
The buttonholes can either be worked as crochet loops or as classic buttonholes; both options are described in the pattern. The pockets are integrated into the hem.
Heidi’s yarn choice for her Toasty Walk is NL’s hearty Homey Svelte held together with one thread of Silk Divine. Homey Svelte underlines the rustic character, while Silk Divine makes the cardigan pleasantly soft and warm.
