A timeless little hip-length cardi always manages to look modern. This has classic details: a pretty jewel neckline, knit-along button bands, full- or bracelet-length sleeves—all of which are clearly and expertly described in written instructions and quick guides. You’ll even be able to build (or review) your skills with a special technique: ‘clip & turn’ short row shaping.
We chose two superb fibers for this ultimate cardi. A sleek yarn, like Shibui’s dreamy Lunar, offers tailored style. Lightweight mohair, like our favorite Rowan Kidsilk Haze, lends a feminine aura. With this choice of yarn, in eight sizes and with two sleeve lengths, you can make your cardigan just right for you.
This 8 page pattern includes:
