This cabled, high-necked tabard is one of my favourite designs. It is the perfect extra layer when the weather starts to turn cold. You can join the sides with either ribbon or a button - there is no need to knit a button hole as it will slip through the border.

Knitted in our super soft, super chunky Puddle yarn, this 100% merino wool from the Falkland Islands is available in a palette of 8 colours.

Whimbrel comes in a kit with pattern, yarn, needles and project bag.

Measure across your shoulders to determine your size:

43cm/17in        Small  (4 balls)

45.5cm/18in     Medium (5 balls)

Needles:   15mm and 12mm circular (US 19 and 17)

The finished length is 56cm/22in but you can make it longer if required although you may require extra yarn.
