This spring, I sought the perfect versatile, stylish, and flattering cardigan that could effortlessly complement an array of outfits. Introducing our stunning cardigan pattern—a design that embraces simplicity without sacrificing charm. This cardigan features a classic silhouette with a short style, incorporating negative ease for a snug fit, while delicate lace and cable details at the hem, cuff, and neckline add just the right amount of visual interest.

The waistband is cleverly crafted to sit just below the natural waist, allowing the wide ribbing to hug the body comfortably without the need for formal stitch decreases. Designed for a little negative ease at the bustline, this cardigan offers a form-fitting look without the hassle of side shaping, making it an ideal choice for a range of body types.

Crafted from the bottom up, this cardigan pattern expertly joins the body and sleeves at the yoke, allowing for seamless knitting in one continuous piece. With minimal finishing required, you'll appreciate the simplicity of adding just the bands and a small underarm graft at the end, making this project perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike!

Showcased in size 34”/86.5cm with 1”/2.5 cm negative ease, this cardigan is a must-have for your spring wardrobe. Whether you're dressing it up for a night out or keeping it casual for a day at the park, this cardigan will quickly become your go-to layering piece.
