Chroi Cardigan

The Chroi cardigan is beautifully named after the Irish word for "heart," symbolizing warmth and comfort. The unique “heart” design element elegantly flows across the chest, intertwining with the intricate lace pattern that serves as the main fabric throughout the cardigan. This eye-catching detail makes Chroi not just a piece of clothing but a heartfelt expression of style.

Knitted in one seamless piece from the bottom up, the construction of Chroi allows for a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience. At the underarms, the piece is split, enabling the front and back to be worked separately for a tailored fit. The sleeves are crafted flat from the bottom up, adding to the overall polished look of the cardigan. To complete the design, trims are picked up and worked to finish, giving the cardigan a refined edge.

For your convenience, stitch patterns for the Chroi cardigan are provided in both written and charted formats, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Designed to be worn with 4-6 inches of positive ease, this cardigan offers a comfortable, relaxed fit that drapes beautifully on the body. Sample size is 38"; model is wearing size 32", highlighting the versatility of this stylish piece.
