All Aligned - Cardigan

Introducing the "All Aligned" cardigan, a beautifully designed seamless top-down garment featuring raglan shaping and an abundance of texture. This open-front cardigan is a knitting enthusiast's dream, thanks to its versatile style that makes it perfect for layering. Whether you're dressing up for an evening out or keeping it casual, the "All Aligned" cardigan has you covered! For this creation, I chose a stunning yarn from Julia Asselin that had been calling to me from my stash for quite some time. Its rich color adds a chic touch, making it not only functional but also an eye-catching addition to your wardrobe. To enhance the texture, I paired it with an extra lace strand in a matching colorway, delivering just the right amount of depth and weight. In this pattern, all increases and decreases are cleverly camouflaged within the simple yet beautiful texture pattern, framed by distinct brioche lines. Note that the brioche stitch technique does require a bit more yarn than traditional methods, so ensure you have sufficient yardage to complete your entire garment! The pattern is designed with clarity in mind, featuring all shaping instructions charted for your convenience, along with the main stitch sequence written out row by row for easy reference. GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 20 sts and 28 rows per 4" [10 cm] in stockinette stitch, and 22 sts and 34 rows per 4" [10 cm] in the stunning Texture Stitch – both swatches should be created using larger needles and will need to be washed and blocked to ensure accuracy. This "All Aligned" cardigan knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters looking for a fulfilling project that combines elegance with intricate detail. Explore the versatility and comfort of this cardigan while elevating your knitting skills with a project that you will love to wear. Get started on your new favorite sweater today!
