The Kelly Cardigan that I knit last year in Alchemy’s Haiku yarn remains one of my favorite finished projects. The design is so simple and the yarn so lovely that I never tire of having it in the store.

This week Kathy P. brought in a Kelly Cardigan that she knit for herself in Noro’s Silk Garden Sock yarn.

The colorful tweedy look of Silk Garden’s blend of lambswool, silk, and mohair gives the Kelly Cardigan a completely new look. And yet, the strong simple design is not overwhelmed by the color and texture.

Kathy used 4 balls of Silk Garden Sock yarn for her size 38 Kelly Cardigan. The pattern can be found in the book Classic Knits by Erika Knight.
