Adele

Introducing our beautifully designed knitted cardigan pattern, crafted from the top down with raglan increases for effortless shaping. After the initial construction, the sleeves are set aside, allowing you to knit the body downwards with lovely slight hip increases for a flattering fit. Once the body is complete, the sleeves are seamlessly picked up and knitted in the round, creating a polished finish. Finally, add your chosen edgings, and your stunning Adele cardigan will be ready to wear!

The pattern is composed of two detailed PDFs: a main instruction booklet and an additional PDF that includes charts and written instructions for setting up the back pattern. You can easily select the pages pertinent to your size and decide whether you prefer to follow the chart or the written directions for your knitting journey.

This cardigan is designed with a comfortable fit in mind, allowing for 5-7 cm (2.0-2.75”) of positive ease. The positive ease is already integrated into each size, ensuring that your finished garment will be both cozy and stylish.

Gauge: Achieve your best results with a gauge of 20 stitches x 30 rows = 10x10 cm (4x4”) in Stockinette stitch using 3.5 mm (US 4) needles, after blocking. For the back pattern, aim for 23 stitches x 30 rows = 10x10 cm (4x4”) using the same needle size, post-blocking.

This versatile pattern is available in both English (pages 1-30) and German (pages 31-61), making it accessible to a wide range of knitters. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this chic cardigan provides a wonderful project to enhance your skills. Embrace your creativity and elevate your wardrobe with the exquisite Adele cardigan pattern!
