Our design team just loves how Softie shows off stitches and Cables. A particular favourite is this pattern which features this statement jacket and sweater. Both show off amazing sculptural Cables and the sweater has an attractive exaggerated neckline.
Softie
The name says it all. Stylecraft’s Softie is a light and airy, chunky yarn that is perfect for this season’s over-sized, relaxed shapes. Stitch definition is also excellent so ideal for cabled knits.
