Cherry Peaks Cardigan

The Cherry Peaks Cardigan is a beautifully designed circular yoke cardigan that is knitted seamlessly from the top down. This innovative pattern begins with the neck, followed by multiple series of short rows that ensure a comfortable fit and a beautifully shaped finish. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, you’ll appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into this stunning cardigan.

The yoke features strategically placed increases that are evenly distributed around the entire upper body, creating a flattering silhouette. After completing the yoke, the sleeves are temporarily placed on hold, allowing you to work on the body of the cardigan down to the hem. Once the body is finished, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles, and the sleeves are knitted in the round towards the cuffs, ensuring a seamless look throughout the garment.

This cardigan is designed with a relaxed fit, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The top-down construction allows you to easily adapt the lengths to suit your personal style. Because the cardigan is steeked, the front steek remains intact until after you have completed both the body and sleeves. This helps keep the cardigan tidy during knitting. To ensure the perfect fit, we recommend trying it on before making the final cut of the steek.

One of the standout features of the Cherry Peaks Cardigan is its beginner-friendly design, as you’ll only be working with two colors at a time. This makes it an excellent project for those new to colorwork knitting. Please note that the stranded pattern for this cardigan is provided in a charted format only, making it easy to follow along as you create your masterpiece.

Whether you are knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Cherry Peaks Cardigan is sure to be a cherished piece for years to come. Get started on your next knitting adventure with this charming and stylish pattern!
