Aloe Vera
Introducing our stunning Aloe Vera Cardigan knitting pattern, designed to bring a touch of botanical elegance to your wardrobe! The front of this beautiful sweater features an intricate stitch pattern inspired by the delicate stalks of blooming aloe vera plants, while the sleeves showcase a similar, narrower motif that adds a touch of sophistication. To elevate the design further, we’ve incorporated pretty eyelet ribbing that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal!
From a style perspective, this cardigan is a timeless classic. The entire garment is knit flat from the bottom in one seamless piece and is cleverly separated at the underarms for ease of wear. The ribbed button band is cleverly integrated into the body of the sweater, and we incorporate a slip-stitch crochet technique for the buttonholes to ensure stability at the front edge. The neckline band is elegantly finished with an I-cord attachment. Each sleeve is knitted separately and set in for an impeccable fit. Moreover, the cable decreases along the shoulders beautifully shape the sleeve caps, resulting in “full-fashioned” shoulders that create a tailored silhouette.
The sizes listed refer to the finished cardigan when buttoned. We recommend an ease of -2 to +2 inches for the perfect fit. For reference, our model is shown in a size 32.5 with -1.5” ease on a 34” dress form and with -1” ease on the model’s figure. This cardigan is designed to flatter a range of body types!
