Cape May Lace Cardigan
Create a stunning open and breezy cardigan that combines a loose gauge with a simple lace stitch, resulting in an elegant piece imbued with vintage charm. This beautiful cardigan pattern is designed to be worked from the top down in one seamless piece, allowing for a streamlined knitting experience. The sleeves are expertly picked up at the armholes and knit in the round from the shoulder down, ensuring a customized fit and cozy feel. Once the body is complete, front bands and neck edges are easily added at the end for a polished finish.
This versatile pattern employs a provisional cast-on technique and incorporates short rows to shape the shoulders and sleeve caps, creating a professional-looking garment that’s perfect for knitters ready to expand their skills. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or seeking a casual layer for everyday wear, this cardigan is sure to become a wardrobe staple.
Available Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) with bust measurements of the finished garment when buttoned: 32 (36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56) inches, which translates to [81 (91, 102, 112, 122, 132, 142) cm]. The model in the photo showcases Size S, highlighting its flattering fit on various body types.
Recommended Yarn: For this pattern, we suggest using Madelinetosh Tosh DK, a luxurious yarn made from 100% superwash merino wool, with a generous yardage of 100g/225 yards (206 meters) per skein. The project requires paper: 4 (4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6) skeins based on your chosen size.
If you prefer to use an alternative yarn, any yarn of similar weight that achieves gauge measurements of 721 (799, 883, 998, 1091, 1227, 1310) yards [659 (731, 807, 913, 998, 1122, 1198) meters] will work beautifully. This flexibility allows your creativity to flourish while ensuring a cozy, stylish result.
Yarn Note: Keep in mind that the specified yarn is typically worked with smaller needles to achieve the desired gauge for this pattern. Embrace the elegance of this cardigan and enjoy the process of making it uniquely your own!
