Constant Companion

Introducing the Constant Companion cardigan, an ideal knitting pattern that combines elegance with ease of crafting. Perfect for seasoned knitters looking for a quick project, this cardigan is also a fantastic entry point for beginners eager to explore the art of Fair Isle knitting. Inspired by a beloved cardigan that Susan has cherished for years, the Constant Companion showcases a simple yet sophisticated shape accentuated by a stunning yoke design, making it a wardrobe staple you will reach for time and time again.

This beautifully crafted cardigan is knitted in one piece from the bottom up, offering a seamless experience as you work your way back and forth until you join the piece in the round to create the eye-catching Fair Isle yoke. A specially designed small steek section is incorporated into the yoke, making it an excellent starting point for anyone apprehensive about steeking techniques. More experienced knitters may choose to work the steek from the outset, allowing for a more streamlined experience by avoiding purl rows if they wish.

The sleeves of the Constant Companion cardigan are knitted separately and then expertly joined to the body at the armholes, ensuring a perfect fit. Once the body is completed, a lovely moss stitch button band is picked up and worked to add that final touch of refinement. With sizes available to fit chest measurements ranging from 28 inches to 62 inches, this versatile cardigan is designed to accommodate a variety of body types.

Whether you are an enthusiastic knitter or a beginner ready to tackle new skills, the Constant Companion cardigan is your go-to knitting pattern for a stylish and cozy addition to your wardrobe. Explore the world of Fair Isle knitting and create a garment that will bring you warmth and joy for years to come!
