Christina H.

Unleash your bold and sexy side with the Christina H. cardigan, designed for a feminine silhouette featuring strong shoulders and a beautifully accentuated waist! This knitting pattern offers you a stylish, fitted, and cropped v-neck cardigan adorned with an elegant lace motif, complemented by classic stockinette and ribbed trim. Perfect for knitters of all levels, this cardigan is worked from the top down using the innovative contiguous sleeve technique developed by Susie Myers, ensuring a seamless and flattering fit.

This versatile pattern allows for easy customization to perfectly suit your unique body shape and desired style. Feel free to experiment and adjust your garment as you craft—add a few more stitches here, take away a few there, or adjust the length to achieve your ideal look! With so many options for personalization, you can truly make this cardigan your own.

When considering yarn choices, you will need approximately 5 (6, 7, 7, 8, 9) skeins of yarn, depending on your size and any modifications you choose to make for the best fit and desired length. Additionally, you'll need 6 to 10 18mm buttons (or buttons that fit your buttonholes), along with some negative ease to achieve the perfect snug fit.

For optimum results, we recommend the City Tweed DK yarn by Knit Picks, which consists of 55% Merino, 25% Alpaca, and 20% Acrylic, providing a soft and luxurious fabric with a generous 123 yards per 50 grams. Whether you’re making a chic addition to your wardrobe or creating a thoughtful gift, this cardigan pattern promises a project that’s both rewarding and stylish.
