Chamomile cardigan

This enchanting cardigan design draws inspiration from the whimsical worlds of Beatrix Potter, the rustic charm of hobbits, and cherished childhood memories of my grandmother’s picturesque cottage garden. It’s the perfect girly cardigan, featuring just the right amount of lace to elevate its beauty without becoming overly fussy—perfect for countless garden adventures!

This delightful cardigan is knit seamlessly from the top down, featuring convenient knit-as-you-go button bands that make the construction a breeze. The pattern includes a thoughtful option for working short rows at the back neck, providing a more tailored and fitted neckline. The yoke is crafted flat using elegant raglan increases, allowing for a smooth and flattering fit. Once the yoke is completed, sleeve stitches are set aside while the cardigan body is worked in one continuous piece, accentuated by a delicate lace band strategically placed just below the underarms. After finishing the body, the sleeve stitches are then worked in the round, resulting in a cozy and charming silhouette.
