Donna Kay designed The Star Cardi as a “knitter to knitter” favor for Corinne, owner of The Woolly Thistle. Corinne wears this sweater often and always receives numerous requests for the pattern. This timeless design features a traditional all over pattern trimmed with garter stitch. Knit with light and lofty Shetland wool, it is perfect for layering. Yarn sets are available here for a variety of colors using Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight yarn.
This yarn set is designed for experienced knitters who are comfortable with circular needles, stranded color work and steeking. Sleeves are set in.

- 13-23 x 25g balls of Jamieson & Smith 100% Shetland 2-Ply Jumper weight yarn(number of balls is dependent on the size you select)
