Anora

Introducing Anora, a stunning A-line shaped, open-style cardigan that features seamless top-down raglan construction. This beautifully designed cardigan is perfect for knitters of all levels, particularly beginners, as it introduces a variety of essential knitting techniques. Anora includes a captivating gradient striping pattern at the bottom, adding a touch of elegance and flair to your wardrobe. To complete this project, you'll need a total of 4 colors in worsted weight yarn: one main color for the body and three additional colors for the eye-catching stripes and front bands.

This beginner-friendly sweater pattern encompasses a range of fundamental sweater techniques, including knitting from the top down, integrating stripes, picking up stitches, and working short rows to artfully shape the shawl collar. The open-style cardigan features front bands that are intentionally designed not to overlap; however, if you prefer a more secured fit, simply stretch them slightly and fasten with a shawl pin or clasp for added style and comfort. Whether you’re looking to enhance your knitting skills or create a cozy, stylish piece for your wardrobe, the Anora cardigan is the perfect project to embark on.
