Pattern description

Lightweight cardigan knitting pattern

The lightweight cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down using the contiguous method for set-in sleeves, creating a tailored fit without the need for sewing. Sleeves are worked after the body has been completed. Body and sleeves are finished with an applied i-cord on the cuffs, button band, and neckline.

Buttons with delicate i-cord bands provide a captivating detail to an otherwise clean, minimalist look. The three-quarter inch sleeves feature a flattering balloon shape, highlighting the smaller part of your arm. Wear it casually with high-waist pants or over a dress on a date night.

The fluffy yarn Cirro by The Fibre Co adds a beautiful texture to the fabric, making the garment both soft and enjoyable to wear. It’s literally like wearing a cloud!
