Dirty Martini

Introducing the Dirty Martini cardigan – a modern twist on the classic lace cardigan that strikes the perfect balance between delicate charm and contemporary style. Inspired by the iconic Chanel jacket, the Dirty Martini has evolved into a unique garment that adds sophistication to any outfit. Cozy borders in a rich, darker color provide a striking contrast to the lighter, open body, highlighting the captivating interplay of lace and ribbing. This cardigan features a reinvented Peter Pan collar, designed with a deep rounded back and playful tabs that seem to emerge at the front, elegantly tapering away.

Crafted from the ultra-soft and round Primo Aran yarn, the Dirty Martini cardigan promises a luxurious feel while enveloping you in warmth. The substantial fabric, paired with deep, ribbed cuffs and a hem knit on larger needles, enhances the cozy experience that this piece offers. This fashionable cardigan is designed to be worn open and loose, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. For the perfect fit, choose a size that allows for 2-3 inches of positive ease based on your actual bust measurement. If you find yourself between sizes, I recommend opting for the smaller size for a more tailored look. The Dirty Martini can gracefully complement a fitted silhouette, and its lace detail may slightly expand with wear. Please avoid negative ease, as the lace will naturally stretch when worn.

The sample cardigan is crafted in luxurious Plucky Primo Aran, but fear not! You’ll find other listed yarns suggested as excellent alternatives, allowing you to create your own unique version of this modern masterpiece. Elevate your knitting repertoire with the Dirty Martini cardigan – a perfect blend of style, comfort, and sophisticated design that you can proudly wear on any occasion.
