Adeline's Cardigan

**Adeline’s Cardigan: A Captivating Knitting Pattern for Gothic Elegance** Adeline’s Cardigan is a stunning feast for the eyes and an essential addition to any knitter's wardrobe. This beautiful garment features a generous peplum that is skillfully worked sideways in three distinct pieces, allowing for creative construction. Once the peplum is complete, stitches are cleverly picked up from the top, transforming the sides into asymmetrical wings that add a unique silhouette. Drawing inspiration from Gothic design elements, this cardigan boasts a standing collar, a fitted waist, and delightful puffed sleeves. The back and front panels are crafted from the bottom up, incorporating framed moss stitch sections on the sides, offering an exquisite touch of textural opulence. To enhance its charm, captivating cables are woven throughout, creating visual interest. The contrasting stockinette sleeves elegantly end in charming pleats, completing the overall design. **Yarn:** This stunning cardigan is crafted using Manos del Uruguay Alegria Grande, made from 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon, providing both warmth and durability. Each skein weighs 100 grams and offers a yardage of 180 m (197 yds). For the sample version, the lovely shade of Turmeric AG2058 was selected, showcasing brilliant color while enhancing the intricate stitch patterns. **Gauge:** To ensure the perfect fit and drape, the gauge is 20 stitches and 29 rows in stockinette stitch when using a 4 mm/US 6 needle, measuring 10 cm square. Always remember to check your gauge before starting to ensure your cardigan turns out just right. **Notes:** An enticing detail of this design is that the cabled cuff on the sleeve is worked sideways. After completing the cuff, stitches are then picked up along its edge to create the sleeve, which finishes with elegant pleats that add a feminine touch.
