MABEL'S SISTER

€6.50

Mabel’s Sister is another collboration between Fiona Alice and the knitting shop Loop, based in London UK. This larger, adult version was inspired by the original Mabel baby cardigan. Like the original, Mabel’s Sister is knit from the top down with increases through the yoke. The body then divides and stitches for the sleeves are placed on hold before continuing to work downwards to the hem. Finally, the sleeves are completed in the round from the top down.

This product listing is for the PDF pattern for the garment pictured and described here and not the actual finished item.
