Keep it cheap.... Or keep it fancy ... here are my recommendations:

For a budget, but fun knit check out

You’ll knit up the cardigan in no more than £15- £20 (price at time of writing 02/20) Whatever yarn you go for ... you’ll need around 8 balls (give or take a ball!)

Or for a super luxury, but just as simple, check out any boutique brands for KidSilk Mohair yarns: Some of my favs are: Undercover Otter, Hedgehog Fibres, Qing Fibre.

You’ll knit up the cardigan in around £200 - £300 as you’ll need to combine 3-4 strands of the kidsilk mohair together for a denser, but super lightweight cardigan. 10-12 balls of kidsilk mohair will be needed.

Gauge: 10x 10 st in stocking stitch with needle 12 mm. 12(w)cm x 10.5(h)cm
