Introducing Abraxas, a beautifully textured cardigan featuring overlapping fronts, a button-free design, and a gently swingy silhouette that makes it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish yet comfortable garment.

The yarn used for this design is the luxurious alpaca-merino blend by Pascualy: Balayage (sportweight, 175m / 190yds per 50g). For the sample, the captivating color used is Nazca (616), which adds a unique touch to your finished piece.

The innovative shape and elegant drape of Abraxas allow it to be worn casually open or styled with sophistication as it gracefully overlaps. You can elevate the look further by fastening it with a decorative clasp or a brooch, adding your own personal flair.

The standout collar for this cardigan is ingeniously constructed along the back neck, then folded and fused into a wide buttonband that is knitted along with the fronts and the rest of the garment. This clever technique ensures seamless creativity, as everything is worked in one go, removing the need for complicated finishing!

Like all patterns from Ziggurat, Abraxas is expertly knitted from the top down, featuring contiguous sleeve caps, built-in button bands, and no seaming required aside from weaving in a few ends. This makes it an enjoyable knitting experience, allowing you to focus on the artistry of your work.

If you’re searching for a fun knitting challenge that results in a chic and wearable piece, look no further than the Abraxas pattern. Embrace your creativity today and start your journey with this exquisite design!
