About the Yarn

This pattern is designed for use with Aran weight yarn. We wholeheartedly recommend Rico Soft Merino Aran for this project. Its beautifully soft texture will make your cardigan and hat incredibly comfortable to wear. The yarn comes in a stunning array of shades too, so you can choose the perfect colour to suit your style or the recipient's taste.

The nature of the yarn will really show off the stitches too, making for a quality finish.

Why We Love This Pattern

We're particularly keen on this pattern because of its versatility. The cardigan is a timeless design that can be dressed up or down, making it suitable for all sorts of occasions. The hat is a great accessory, and who doesn't love a matching set?

Plus, knitting with soft merino is such a treat. The yarn is gentle on your hands, and the finished garments are incredibly soft and luxurious. We think it’s a great pattern for intermediate knitters looking for a satisfying project, and with a little patience, confident beginners could certainly give it a go too!

The shawl collar on the cardigan adds a touch of sophistication and warmth, and the simple hat design is both practical and stylish. It's a winning combination, really.
