Antoinette Cardigan

Discover the perfect lightweight cardigan pattern designed to showcase a stunning honeycomb cable texture, complete with a beautiful gradient fade. This cardigan is crafted using fingering or sock yarn combined with a luxurious lace weight mohair silk yarn, resulting in a soft, elegant slip-on piece that you'll love to wear. Choose from an array of exquisite hand-dyed fingering or sock yarn fades, and pair them with a striking contrast main colour to make your cardigan truly unique.

This versatile cardigan pattern is constructed in one piece from the bottom up, making it simple and enjoyable to knit. Once you reach the armholes, the front and back sections are worked separately, providing a streamlined shaping process. We use short rows to create gentle shoulder shaping, and the shoulders are seamlessly joined using an easy three-needle bind-off technique for a neat finish. For added ease, sleeves are picked up directly from the armholes and knitted in the round down to the cuffs, ensuring a comfortable fit.

The finishing touches on this beautiful cardigan include picking up stitches for the front bands, which are then completed with a sophisticated i-cord bind-off, giving your project a polished look. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this cardigan pattern combines modern design with traditional techniques, making it a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Whether you're preparing for a cozy evening out or looking for the ideal layering piece, this honeycomb cable cardigan is sure to impress. Grab your favorite yarns and get ready to create a unique garment that blends style and comfort effortlessly!
