This Par Sands Cosy Cardigan, is designed to be close-fitting with 0” to 2” of negative ease. Tight fitting over the bust, with drape & flow down to the hem. The rippled lace bodice and the stockinette body are both very stretchy. Please choose the size that best suits your desired fit.
This is a truly beautiful cardigan to wear, and is flattering on ANY shape or size. My testers range from a size Small to a size 4XL and they ALL love this cardigan. Smiles. One of my testers sent this comment along with her final notes & photographs;
"It is such a beautiful pattern and cardigan. Your pattern is very detailed, clear and easy to follow."
The main picture is a collage of me wearing the shorter version, in Cerise, on my sock base. I am currently working on the last sleeve of the longer version, which I am creating with two colours (see below.)
This truly is a versatile pattern as you can see. All of my testers used different wool bases as well as different colours. I will list them below for you. If any of the colours/yarn bases have gone out of stock, please don't hesitate to drop me a message (or use the contact form on this website.)
I am happy to dye whatever you need for your pattern purchase. :)

Brand new 480g set, created especially for Paper Daisy Creations' Just Beachy MKAL.
Party Gnomes (or) Popcorn Beach (you choose!) Comprises of 2 x 100g skeins (425m each) in Vanilla for the Main Colour, and 14 x 20g mini skeins (85m each) 2 each of 7 Amazing Contrast Colours on 4 ply Sock Base.
This beautiful set holds the potential to become my out and out favourite and I cannot wait for the MKAL to begin on Sept 1st, and see these knitted up!
Image below to give you an idea of how you can arrange the contrast colours.
My inspiration for the colourway, was from the wonderful gnomes image. However, in keeping with the "Just Beachy" theme from Paper Daisy Creations, I went on the hunt for Beach Scenes, that would match my chosen colourway. :)
Popcorn Beach is the closest match I could find! So, when you order, you have the choice of what your colourway is called.
