Catamount

Introducing the Catamount Cardigan: a stylish and functional layering piece perfect for chilly fall days in Burlington, VT, or anywhere else! This unique cardigan features a button closure at the top and an A-line front opening, creating a flattering silhouette that drapes beautifully. The design incorporates stripes of color that are expertly highlighted by a variety of textures, achieved through alternating knit and purl rows on both the right and wrong sides of the fabric.

The Catamount Cardigan is not just a fashionable choice; it’s also designed with comfort in mind. With a focus on negative ease in the body and zero ease in the yoke, this sweater provides a snug fit where it counts while allowing for a relaxed style in the body. Our detailed schematic offers actual measurements at key points and provides a fitting recommendation based on bust circumference, ensuring you find the perfect size. It's important to note that the Catamount is designed to remain open in the front until it reaches the yoke, which sits well above the natural bust line. The bust, waist, and lower hem are intentionally crafted to be smaller than your full circumference at those areas, allowing the cardigan to drape elegantly and effortlessly.

This cardigan is an ideal addition to any wardrobe, offering versatility and warmth that’s perfect for layering over your favorite outfits. Whether you're heading to class or enjoying a leisurely walk, the Catamount Cardigan promises to keep you cozy and chic. Plus, a special thanks goes to Chris Church for the meticulous technical editing that brought this pattern to life!
