Wool and the Gang | Grace Cardigan Two Tone Kit

Description

Soft, squishy and stylish, the Grace Cardigan is gorgeous and deceptively simple to knit. The contrasting colours can be high-impact or subtle, depending on which shades you choose. It’s got a relaxed fit and sleeves sizable enough for several layers underneath in winter. It uses a moss stitch and rib trim for great visual texture.

The Grace Cardigan Two Tone kit uses Wool and the Gang’s Alpachino Merino. It’s a bulky alpaca/merino blend that is soft, squishy and oh so huggable. (Just like you’ll be if you’re wearing this cardigan!) It’s 100% natural and a perfect weight for year-round knitting. Stumped for what colourways to select? Shoot us an email and we’d be happy to help you choose the perfect pairing.

If you’re looking for a two-tone cardigan with more texture, or want a project that might stretch your skills a little more, take a look at the Grace Cardigan’s sister, the Wool and the Gang Stargazer Cardigan!
