Bajads

Introducing Bajads, a beautifully tailored cardigan that combines elegant waist shaping with a relaxed, swingy fit, thanks to its unique triangle detail at the back. This stunning design not only flatters a variety of body types but also adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

This cardigan is a delight to knit, as everything is worked in one go—eliminating the hassle of seaming and minimizing the number of ends to weave in. The set-in sleeves, available in long, 3/4, or short variations, are ingeniously knitted in the round from cap to cuff, echoing the stylish triangle inset for a cohesive look.

When it comes to yarn choices, most sock yarns will work wonderfully for this project. Personally, I found joy in knitting with Väinämöinen—an honest, durable yarn that retains a woolly texture without any scratchiness. It's a perfect match for the Bajads cardigan, offering both comfort and style.
