Darley cardigan
What could be better than a quick and adorable vintage-style cardigan for winter? This charming vintage-style cropped cardi is not only stylish but also a perfect layering piece for those chilly days. It boasts a delightful combination of cushy rib, easy stockinette stitch, a cute turned collar, i-cord closure, and puffy sleeves, making it a must-have addition to your knitwear collection.
Craft your cardigan in a beautiful DK yarn to truly showcase its captivating colors. We recommend The Mulberry Dyer Wensleydale DK, a high-quality, woolly-woolly yarn that adds a rustic touch to the classic silhouette of this cardigan, enhancing both its texture and warmth.
The construction is not only easy but also entertaining! You’ll start from the bottom and knit the body in one piece up to the armholes, where the fronts and back will be separated. With the button bands added immediately, you can maximize your efficiency. Once the body is blocking, you can shift your focus to creating the sleeves. While those are drying, you can tackle the collar and any finishing touches. Before you know it, you’ll have a beautiful cardigan ready to wear!
