The Sabel is an oversized cardigan, with a straight cut that will keep you snuggly and warm all winter. It has a dropped armhole and features slim sleeves that compliment the otherwise roomy design.
On the front are large patch pockets and in her top tips video Lauren shows you a neat trick for getting these seamlessly pattern matched. A narrow neckband finishes off the front edge and provides balance to the whole garment.
In her video Lauren shows you how to use the leftover neckband fabric to create cuffs which can be added to the sleeves and she also discusses how to make Sabel cropped by shortening the pattern (as she did on the blue version).
What makes this cardigan really special is the one of a kind fabric we've sourced for the kits. This chunky wool blend is super soft and has a zigzag design knitted into the fabric. For such special fabric we've also chosen some pretty special buttons, made with bio-resin by Pigeon Wishes. Colour swirls through them making each one different. Now, which colour to choose?!
For this kit we've chosen two colours of this amazing knit: Blue Mountain zigzag and Pink Etna zigzag
This thick, squishy knit fabric is a wool blend and has a colourful zigzag pattern knitted into the fabric. It has two distinct sides which could both be used as the outer. In the samples we've used the more uniform, smoother side - the reverse has a more defined knit appearance.
The wool content in the fabric means it is cosy and warm, whilst its knitted construction provides it with a good amount of stretch. The fabric is 30% wool & 70% polyester.
For the neckband we have also included a smooth navy sweatshirting fabric, which is 70% cotton, 30% polyester. This can also be used to create optional cuffs.
