Bernadette cardigan

Discover how to create your very own version of the famous Bernadette cardigan with this easy-to-follow knitting pattern. This stylish cardigan is designed using a unique combination of a thick yarn and a luxurious mohair yarn, both knitted together in two strands for a cozy, oversized fit.

For this project, you'll need yarn suitable for knitting with an 8 mm needle, which requires approximately 400 grams (about 700 meters) of thick yarn. Additionally, you will need approximately 200 grams (also around 700 meters) of mohair yarn that works well with a 4 mm needle. The gauge for this pattern is 8 stitches by 11 rows.

To knit your Bernadette cardigan, use 8 mm and 12 mm knitting needles, as well as circular knitting needles in the same sizes. If you are new to knitting or find the circular method challenging, don’t worry! You can easily knit the sleeves using straight needles and then sew them together, accommodating any comfort level with your knitting technique. Just ensure that the seam is placed at the back of the cardigan for a neat finish.

This pattern is designed for an oversized fit, making it perfect for sizes S / M. The finished dimensions are as follows: Length: 25 inches, Width: 24 inches, and Sleeve Length: 16.5 inches. Whether you’re looking to update your wardrobe or create a special gift, this Bernadette cardigan is a delightful and rewarding knitting project that you’ll love wearing or gifting!
