Crinaeae Cardi
Introducing the Crinaeae Cardigan — a beautifully crafted top-down, simultaneous set-in sleeve cardigan inspired by the enchanting nymphs of Greek Mythology that are linked to fountains. This exquisite design is adorned with an intricate undulating cable and lace pattern, mimicking the graceful movement of dancing, flowing water, bringing a touch of elegance to your knitting collection. The short row shawl collar not only enhances the cardigan’s aesthetic but also offers warmth to the back of your neck. For a unique finish, delicate crochet chains elevate the design and showcase stunning toggles, making this cardigan a standout piece.
This cardigan is expertly knitted from the top down in one seamless piece, allowing for easy construction and minimal finishing. After completing the body, you will pick up stitches to work a cozy ribbed button band, adding functionality and style. The shawl collar features thoughtfully crafted short rows and mitered corners to offer a personalized fit. For your convenience, both written instructions and charted patterns for the intricate cable and lace design are included, ensuring that knitters of various skill levels can successfully create this enchanting piece.
Upon purchasing this pattern, you will receive two downloadable PDF files tailored to fit a range of sizes: one accommodating sizes 29 to 40.75 inches and another designed for sizes 44.25 to 57 inches. To achieve the perfect fit, I recommend aiming for a range of 2 inches negative to 2 inches positive ease, depending on your personal style preferences. The stretchy nature of the cable and lace pattern ensures comfort and flexibility. For reference, the cardigan is showcased in a size 32 on a model with a 34-inch full bust and a 32-inch high bust.
Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced – perfect for those looking to elevate their knitting skills while creating a stunning fashion piece!
