Charlotte - Confetti patterned cardigan

Introducing the Charlotte Cardigan, a timeless piece that effortlessly combines style and comfort. This classic cardigan features a relatively simple cut, making it an easy yet chic addition to any wardrobe. The eye-catching confetti pattern sets Charlotte apart, creating a distinctive look that is sure to turn heads. You can choose to bring this pattern to life using the Fair Isle knitting technique or enhance it further by adding details with the duplicate stitch embroidery method. In this design, I’ve utilized a blend of both techniques, but the versatility of the Charlotte Cardigan allows you to replace the confetti design with your own preferred patterns, such as fashionable stripes or other motifs. This remarkable cardigan is constructed in separate parts from the bottom up, making the knitting process enjoyable and manageable.
