Cardigan Vera

Introducing our beautifully designed cropped cardigan, a must-have addition to your fall and winter wardrobe. This stylish cardigan features front panels that gracefully flare out and is elegantly closed with a single button at the wide neckline. The 3/4-length sleeves add a touch of sophistication, making it the perfect outerwear piece for any fashion-forward knitter.

This cardigan is lovingly knitted from a luxurious blend of superfine alpaca, merino, and viscose (Lang Yarns Aymara), ensuring a cozy feel that's ideal for chilly days and nights. For those looking to create a lighter version suitable for spring and summer, simply opt for a cotton mix to achieve a breathable yet stylish look.

To knit this stunning cropped cardigan, you'll need yarn with a weight classification of Aran/Worsted/Medium. The craftsmanship showcases a delicate lace and mini cable design on both the right and left front panels, and no cable needle is required for the easy mini cable technique—perfect for knitters of various skill levels.

This cardigan features a unique negative ease design, meaning it hugs the body with a snug fit that ranges from 4 to 17 cm, depending on the size you choose. The cardigan consists of a back piece, a left front piece, a right front piece, and two stylish sleeves. To finish the look, you'll need to pick up stitches along the edges of the front pieces for the border, and add a refined collar at the neckline with a buttonhole for a polished finish.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, this cropped cardigan is an enjoyable project that results in a stunning garment you'll cherish for years. Download the free knitting pattern today or check out our premium options for additional designs and tips!
