Easterner Cardigan Pattern Available

My latest pattern is now available. The Easterner Cardigan....
A cardigan in wide stripes of colour worked in diagonal stitch, knitted on larger needles for an open texture, in cotton.
The yarn I've used is Rowan Cotton Glace which is a great summer yarn with beautiful stitch definition. The colour range is gorgeous. I've gone with earthy tones, but why not try blues, greens or your own favourite mix.
