Brandt Cardigan

ALSO AVAILABLE AS PART OF FERROVIA, A 3-PATTERN COLLECTION.

Introducing the exquisite Brandt Cardigan, inspired by Edgar Brandt, a renowned master of Art Deco ironwork. The term “Art Deco” originates from the prestigious Exposition des Arts Decoratifs, an influential exhibition showcasing innovative architecture and decorative arts in Paris in 1925. The beautifully crafted scroll motifs that adorn the Brandt cardigan are intricately patterned after a stunning wrought iron door designed by Brandt for this iconic exhibition, making it a true masterpiece of knitted fashion.

The design of the Brandt cardigan features a visually striking stranded motif that is oriented vertically. To achieve this unique look, a combination of stranded and intarsia knitting techniques is utilized. Along the side edges of the gorgeous stranded panels, the main and contrast color yarns are expertly twisted around each other, effectively preventing any holes and ensuring a polished finish. With the eye-catching scroll patterns taking center stage, the rest of the cardigan is styled simply yet elegantly, boasting a wide, shallow neckline, moderate waist shaping, and a flattering slightly below-the-hip length. The cardigan is finished with stylish 3/4-length sleeves, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

The Brandt cardigan is constructed in pieces from the top down, allowing knitters to work at their own pace. After seaming, rolled neck, cuff, and bottom edges are added to achieve a refined look. Additionally, the design allows for creativity in color selection to personalize your own Brandt cardigan, making it an ideal project for both beginner and experienced knitters alike. With its sophisticated design and historical inspiration, the Brandt cardigan is not just a garment; it’s a wearable piece of art that you can cherish for years to come.
