Aline Modular Cardigan

This modular cardigan pattern is perfect for adventurous knitters looking to explore innovative techniques. It involves picking up from the last knitted piece and often knitting in different directions, utilizing modular squares and partial squares to create a unique design.

The construction begins in the mid back, working up to the shoulders before transitioning to the upper fronts, which are knitted down to the hem. You will then pick up the back pieces and continue down to the hem, followed by picking up side pieces to incorporate short row shaping, which contributes to the stylish Aline lower body silhouette. This technique not only enhances the fit but also adds an elegant drape to your finished cardigan.

To finish this beautiful piece, we recommend adding icord edgings. This finishing touch not only keeps the cardigan neat and polished but also provides structural integrity and hardwearing edges to each section, ensuring your cardigan withstands the test of time.

This pattern is classified as an intermediate knit, making it an excellent choice for knitters who have a solid grasp of basic techniques. You will primarily utilize simple knits, purls, and a double decrease technique for the mitred squares, making it accessible yet engaging.

Sizing for this pattern ranges from 32 to 62 inches in the bust, ensuring that every knitter can find their perfect fit. Additionally, clear instructions are included on how to easily modify your garment’s length and adjust sleeve widths and depths to cater to YOUR unique body measurements.

As you embark on this knitting adventure, expect to use a variety of techniques: knit, pick up stitches, increase, decrease, i-cord edging, cast on, and bind off. A basic understanding of modular knitting will be particularly beneficial as you bring this eye-catching cardigan to life. Elevate your knitting skills and enjoy the journey of creating a one-of-a-kind cardigan that reflects your personal style!
