Charisse

Looking to elevate your wardrobe with a versatile and stylish cardigan that beautifully complements your dress? This uniquely designed cardigan offers a flattering fit without obscuring the elegant lines of your dress. Featuring a rounded yoke and top-down construction, this cardigan is knitted in one seamless piece, ensuring a professional finish and minimal finishing work.

The yoke is artistically adorned with a charming picot cast-on and textured purl ridges that feature delicate eyelets, all highlighted by knot stitches worked in the rows in between. To shape the bodice, raglan increases provide a tailored look while the strategically-placed short rows at the back create a front neckline that gently dips lower than the back, enhancing comfort and style. Additionally, the cardigan includes thoughtful waist shaping to flatter your silhouette.

The body of the cardigan is cropped and worked in a smooth Stockinette Stitch, transitioning into a deep ribbed band that adds both texture and elegance. For a touch of femininity, a luxurious velvet ribbon is meticulously sewn to the button band, accented by pretty purl buttons to complete this lovely cardigan.

This beautiful knitting pattern was created using Shibui yarn for the sample, but an alternative yarn suggestion is also provided to suit your preferences and budget. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this versatile cardigan pattern is a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire, perfect for layering over dresses for any occasion.
