Cable Stayed Cardigan

Introducing the Cable Stayed Cardigan, a beautifully designed open-front cardigan that effortlessly combines style and comfort. This seamless, top-down raglan cardigan features an innovative construction method: it begins with the yoke, crafted in the traditional raglan style, but without the front panels. Once the yoke is complete, you’ll pick up stitches along the front sides of the sleeves to create the fronts, allowing you to work the body from top to bottom. The unique design includes increasing stitches at the sides from the underarms and decreasing at the center for a flattering silhouette.

The Cardigan features some elegant waist shaping at the back, ensuring a fitted look that enhances your figure. Most of the body is worked using stockinette stitch to provide a smooth finish, while the creatively designed wedge-shaped areas incorporate detailed cable patterns against a reverse stockinette stitch background. This combination of stitches results in stunning visual interest and texture, making the Cable Stayed Cardigan a standout addition to your wardrobe.

Recommended Yarn: To achieve the best results, use Miss Babs Yowza or a similar lightweight worsted or DK yarn.
