We now offer handy kits for this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make this beautiful cardi, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting! We don’t sell the pattern here, but you can purchase it directly from Marina on her Ravelry page, here.
We absolutely adored Marina’s Scrumper Waistcoat that she released last year, and we were utterly delighted that she has now created the Scrumper Cardi too! Marina is the Queen of adding those interesting touches to a beautifully simple garment, and the Scrumper Cardi is no different.
This cardi is perfect for layering up, and can suit a variety of styles and genders. It has moss stitch edging flanked by columns of simple cables that run up the sides and front opening, and flow around the armholes and neck, and down the underside of the sleeves. The cardigan is knitted bottom-up, with the buttonband worked at the same time as the body.
