Caroline Cardigan

Introducing the Caroline Cardigan: a beautifully designed knitting pattern that combines feminine charm with modern versatility. This v-neck cardigan features a simple raglan construction with a slightly slouchy shape and low V-neckline, evoking a delightful vintage sensibility. Its versatile style allows you to effortlessly pair it with well-laundered retro dresses and chic square, collarless blouses, making it a staple piece for your wardrobe.

The Caroline Cardigan is not just about vintage vibes; it's also perfect for everyday wear. With hemmed picot edges on the neckline, sleeves, and buttonbands, this cardigan adds a touch of elegance to your favorite jeans and casual t-shirts. The open stitch pattern creates an airy, lightweight layering piece that is ideal for transitioning between seasons, especially when crafted from a soft, gentle yarn like MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino – a luxurious choice that enhances both comfort and style.

This v-neck cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down using innovative raglan shaping, which minimizes seams and creates a polished look. The lower edge, cuffs, button band, and buttonhole bands are finished with a detailed serrated edge, incorporating clever after-thought buttonholes for an expertly finished garment.

Finished measurements for the Caroline Cardigan range from 33-3/4” to 57-3/4”, making it accessible for a variety of sizes: 33-3/4” (37-3/4”, 42”, 45-3/4“, 50, 54, 57-3/4”). We recommend using the MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino Sport yarn, made of 100% virgin merino wool, with a skein weight of 50g and a yardage of 136 yards; you'll need 9 (10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18) balls in the beautiful #165 Rain colorway.

Whether you're an experienced knitter looking for a versatile project or a beginner eager to create a stylish garment, the Caroline Cardigan pattern is a perfect choice. Embrace your creativity and enjoy the satisfaction of handcrafting a stunning piece that enhances your wardrobe with timeless elegance.
