Ennerdale Kit

About Ennerdale

Ennerdale is a classic cardi with a twist. Knitted in reverse stocking stitch, a variety of stitch combinations are used to create a ‘flower garden’ raised against the plain background.

Designer Jennie Atkinson says ‘I wanted to do something new with the idea of knitted flowers and I came up with the idea of using increased and decreased stitches to create a 3D effect. It took a lot of working out, but hopefully, using the charts and written instructions, it should be straightforward for an intermediate knitter to achieve.’

Knit in pieces from the bottom up.
