Everyone needs a basic grey cardigan in their wardrobe.
This effortlessly chic basic grey cardigan features adorable picot trims that add a touch of charm. Designed with versatility in mind, this cardigan is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels. The cardigan boasts 3/4 length set-in sleeves, providing an elegant silhouette, while the waist shaping ensures a flattering fit.

The body of the cardigan is crafted first, starting from the hem and continuing to the underarms, and is held on a stitch holder for easy assembly. The sleeves are meticulously worked from the wrist up to the underarm, allowing for seamless integration with the body. Once the body and sleeves are complete, they are joined together to shape the lovely sleeve caps. This technique not only enhances the cardigan’s overall structure but also adds a professional touch to your finished piece.
Perfect for layering, this versatile grey cardigan is an essential addition to any wardrobe, whether you're dressing up for a night out or keeping it casual for a day at home. Enjoy this knitting pattern that combines both simplicity and style, and embrace the rewarding experience of creating your own chic cardigan!
