Adelaide Cardigan
Experience the cozy elegance of our beautifully crafted cardigan, designed for both comfort and style. This cardigan is expertly knit from the bottom up, showcasing a stunning cable and lace design that adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. While the bust measurements are taken from the flat, unstretched garment, the intricate lace detailing ensures that there’s ample stretch when worn, resulting in finished measurements that are a few inches larger. This is not just a garment; it’s the socially acceptable wearable blanket we've all been longing for!
This cardigan features an engaging combination of cables and lacework, offering a unique knitting experience. The pattern includes knitting in the round for the sleeves, while the body is worked flat, allowing for easy modifications and adjustments. At the top, you’ll find short rows incorporated into the design, ensuring a flattering fit across the shoulders. Importantly, every row is meticulously written out after the sleeves are attached, making it simple to follow along as you progress through the raglan decreases. This user-friendly approach helps you keep track of your knitting, so you can focus on enjoying the creative process.
