Dune and Modesty

Introducing the “Dune and Modesty” V-neck cardigan – a stylish and versatile addition to your knitting repertoire! This boxy cardigan is designed to flatter various body types and can be made in two chic styles: 3/4 sleeve or long sleeve. You have the option to fasten your cardigan with a classic button or trendy I-cords, allowing for a customizable look that suits your personal style.

The construction of the “Dune and Modesty” cardigan is both innovative and accessible. Start by working the saddle shoulder panels separately; this unique technique adds structure and interest to the garment. Once the panels are complete, stitches are cleverly picked up along the edges to create the back and front sections. The upscale short row shaping of the shoulders ensures a perfect fit and enhances the cardigan's overall design.

As you progress, you will work the front and back of this cozy cardigan back and forth separately, seamlessly joining them at the underarm for a clean finish. Transition into the lower body, which is worked straight in one piece, featuring a stunning 1x1 irregular rib pattern that adds texture and sophistication.

For the sleeves, simple yet effective techniques take center stage. Stitches are picked up around the arm openings and worked down in the round, giving you control and ease as you knit. Finally, the front and neck edging is meticulously finished with I-cord, providing a polished and professional touch to your finished cardigan.

Whether you’re a beginner looking to enhance your knitting skills or an experienced knitter seeking a beautiful design, the “Dune and Modesty” V-neck cardigan offers a gratifying and enjoyable knitting experience. Not only is this cardigan perfect for layering, but it’s also a fantastic project to gift or keep for yourself.
