    Enjoy a little luxury every day in this cute cardigan knitted in soft Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk Aran. With its short sleeves and deep neckline, it makes a great summer cover-up as you can pop it on over a T-shirt or sundress when the sun goes down or a few June clouds roll by.

    You could be forgiven for thinking that the twisted patterns on the front of the cardigan require the use of a cable needle. In reality, they're created by cleverly knitting stitches together and slipping them. The twists develop neatly out of the ribbing at the bottom of the garment, making it look extra streamlined.

    Once you've mastered the twisted stitch, you'll find the rest of the cardigan remarkably simple to make - the back is done in plain stocking stitch. The cardigan will suit just about any body shape, and so Kirstie has designed it to fit from a 32-54in bust. It would suit any age of wearer, too, so you could make one for every woman in your family!
