Autumn Morning Cardigan

This cozy cabled cardigan is the perfect addition to your autumn wardrobe, expertly designed for those crisp mornings when you need just a little something to take the chill off. With a versatile shawl collar that can be worn up to keep the cold off your neck or folded down as the day warms up, this cardigan combines style and functionality effortlessly. The smooth leather buttons beautifully offset the rustic tweed flecks of the yarn, adding an elegant touch to this knitted piece.

This cardigan pattern is crafted using classic techniques, as it is worked in pieces from the bottom up. The back, fronts, and sleeves are knit separately, allowing for greater customization and fit. Once the shoulder seams are expertly joined, the cozy collar is crafted, followed by setting in the sleeves and completing the seaming for a polished finish. Perfect for both novice and seasoned knitters, this pattern provides a rewarding knitting experience.

Materials Required: To create your own stunning cardigan, you will need Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Tweed (80% Peruvian Highland wool, 20% Donegal tweed, 110 yards [101 meters] / 50 grams [1.75 ounces]). For the color, choose 25458, “Down Heather,” with quantities varying by size: 10 (12, 14, 15, 17) skeins are needed; the sample shown is the smallest size designed for a 32" chest.

Additionally, you will need a set of US 7 (4.5 mm) needles. A 24" or longer circular needle is essential, as its length is required for handling the shawl collar. Be sure to also have a size needed to achieve the specified gauge for the best fit and finish.
