Men's Cabled Adult Cardigan Knitting Pattern - 5960

£3.50
Knit handsome, richly textured knitwear for men with this King Cole 5960 knitting pattern. Designed for Aran weight yarns, this classic leaflet provides instructions to make two sophisticated cardigans: a smart V-neck buttoned cardigan and a cosy shawl-collared cardigan. Both designs feature raglan shaping and traditional cable panels that run down the front and sleeves, creating structured, hard-wearing garments with outstanding warmth. These versatile cardigans are ideal for cool autumn days, country walks, and relaxed smart-casual layering throughout the winter months. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside a wide variety of quality Aran yarns right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite shade and cast on straight away.
