The Design

Gudrun Johnston has spent many years knitting with Shetland wool but had never paired it with another yarn until now! To showcase the beauty of this combined fabric she wanted to keep the stitch pattern simple and chose a classic looking, everyday cardigan silhouette to pair it with. Luumu is worked bottom up using a particularly fun seamless saddle shoulder construction.

Laine's , features cozy yet stylish knits for the season! Luumu is one of 11 knitting patterns (both charts and written instructions provided): 6 sweaters, 2 cardigans and 3 shawls. Get your copy while supplies last!
