The Larkspur Cardigan Kit is a beautiful project for makers who want a cardigan with real personality. This cardi is light, wearable and full of visual interest without requiring complicated techniques.
 
Larkspur is an open-front cardigan designed by Rosemary Drysdale, with a relaxed silhouette and softly puffed sleeves. Worked in Surprise, the self-striping colourways and dramatic texture shift between smooth and slubby move naturally through the fabric as you knit, producing a finished cardigan that looks far more considered than the stitches involved. The result is a garment with movement, colour and a tactile quality that is hard to achieve with a standard single-texture yarn.

Designed for Makers Like You
 
Larkspur is a wonderful project for intermediate knitters who enjoy garment knitting with visual interest built in. The construction is manageable and satisfying, while Surprise handles the colour and texture work automatically. Each row a little different from the last, keeping the knitting engaging throughout.
 
It is especially suited to makers who love:
Knitted cardigan patterns where the yarn creates the visual interest
Open-front silhouettes with a relaxed, layerable fit
Garments with a light, airy feel for cooler weather
Projects that let a novelty yarn shine in a wearable context
Handmade wardrobe pieces with movement and character
 
Spun with Purpose
 
Surprise is a worsted-weight yarn from Ella Rae. As you knit, it shifts between brushed and slubby, matte and gently lustrous. The texture change is dramatic, and the self-striping colourways mean the colour moves just as naturally as the texture does.
 
This yarn is:
made from 36% virgin wool, 50% acrylic, 14% recycled polyester
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified
mulesing-free
machine washable
made in Italy
 
Made to Be Made
 
The Larkspur Cardigan Kit is a beautiful choice for:
Intermediate knitters looking for a knitted cardigan pattern with built-in colour and texture interest
Makers who enjoy open-front cardigans with a relaxed, wearable silhouette
Lighter layering pieces for the cooler months
Projects that showcase what a self-striping, texture-changing yarn can do
Handmade wardrobe additions with movement, colour and everyday appeal
 
If you have been looking for a knitted cardigan pattern that lets an unusual yarn do the creative work, the Larkspur Cardigan Kit is a beautiful one to cast on.
 
Your Next Mindful Make
 
The steady rhythm of Larkspur is punctuated by the changing texture of Surprise. Each section is a little different from the last, and watching the colour and texture shift through the fabric makes this an engaging knit from cast on to cast off.
 
Larkspur is a perfect choice for makers who enjoy projects that keep them curious on the needles. This is a cardigan that will surprise you as it grows and reward you when it is done.
