Take a cable

Meet Korrigan, a sweet cardigan which Lisa recently made as a gift for a brand new little girl. It ticks so many of our favourite boxes: one skein of luscious handdyed sock yarn? Lisa used Hedgehog Fibres Sock in the exclusive Irish Yarn Club January colourway. Top down for no-fuss seam-free construction? Naturally! A simple cable used to lovely effect? Of course! We've talked about this cable before. Back in February, we showed you Jacqui's Quadrature for Korrigan, a pattern by the same designer, Solenn Couix-Loarer, which uses exactly that cable, mixed with the simplest garter stitch and stocking stitch. What clever, versatile design work! To underline the point, Maria recently finished a Quadrature for Korrigan of her own, in Soft Donegal, and it's huge! The weather's warm right now, but come cooler days and this wrap will be perfect to snuggle up in. You might very well suspect that we're not done with these designs, and you'll probably be proved right. There's a matching hat, you see, in sizes from newborn to adult and in three weights of yarn, and we love a cabled hat round these parts!
