Purple Ribbed Cardi by Rico Design

I’ve been knitting this ribbed cardigan over the past few weeks and finally was able to finish it over the bank holiday weekend.

Ribbed Cardigan by Rico Design

I’m really pleased with the fit and am sure it will become a firm favourite in my wardrobe. I especially like the detail on the back.

The pattern is from Rico Knitting Ideas Book 6 and was very straight forward to follow. The yarn was brilliant too.  It was Rico’s Essential Merino DK and as well as having great stitch definition, it hasn’t pilled in the slightest as I was knitting with it.  So I hope that the cardi continues to look good for a long time to come.  Good value too at only £3.45 a ball.  This cardi took 11 balls.

  1. Gorgeous fit, looks like the perfect cardigan! Now all I need is the attention span to knit 11 skeins in one project … ;-)
