Barrel Racer

Introducing the Barrel Racer Cardigan: a uniquely designed, seamed cardigan that stands apart from traditional cardigans. This sophisticated piece is constructed with a focus on both style and comfort. All components are expertly knit flat, featuring a back panel, two front panels, and two sleeves, which are then skillfully sewn together using a modified mattress stitch technique. Once the main pieces are joined, we add elegant ribbing to the bottom hem, collar, and cuffs, similar to how tailored garments are crafted, resulting in a clean, polished finish that exudes quality.

This versatile cardigan can be tailored to your preference as either a cropped or full-length sweater, making it a stylish addition to any wardrobe. It is designed with 4 inches of positive ease across all sizes, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit for every body type. To determine your ideal size, simply measure around the fullest part of your bust, add 4 inches to that measurement, and refer to our size chart to select the corresponding size. If you're between sizes, we recommend going up one size for a looser fit or down one size if you prefer a snugger fit.

With its unique construction and adaptability, the Barrel Racer Cardigan is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a beautiful, practical garment. You'll love the satisfaction of wearing a cardigan that not only looks great but is also thoughtfully constructed for comfort and durability. Whether you choose to make it casual for everyday wear or dress it up for special occasions, this cardigan will quickly become a staple in your wardrobe.
