Daisy Cardigan

This beautifully crafted cardigan knitting pattern is perfect for beginners and offers a straightforward yet rewarding experience. Made using soft DK weight yarn, this simple cardigan design is worked from the top down, allowing for easy increases until you reach the armholes. At that point, you’ll place the sleeve stitches on hold and continue to work on the body of the cardigan. One of the unique features of this pattern is that the button bands are integral; they are knitted simultaneously as part of the body, streamlining the overall process.

After completing the body, the next step is to knit the sleeves. You have the flexibility to choose whether to work them in the round or flat, allowing for personalization based on your knitting style. Detailed instructions for both methods are provided, making it easy to follow along regardless of your chosen technique.

To elevate your cardigan, this pattern also includes an enchanting daisy embroidery design. This floral motif is traced onto water-soluble stabiliser, which you simply place on your knitting, embroider over, and remove by washing it away, leaving a beautiful finish. The pattern comes with informative links to helpful videos that demonstrate how to use the stabiliser effectively and how to execute all the necessary embroidery stitches to master the daisy design.

This cardigan pattern is more than just a project; it’s an opportunity to enhance your knitting skills while creating a stunning piece that is sure to be a favorite in your wardrobe. Whether you’re a novice eager to learn or an experienced knitter looking for a refreshing make, this pattern combines functionality with artistic expression. Perfect for chilly evenings or layering, the finished cardigan is versatile and stylish. Download this free pattern today to start your knitting journey!
