Dusty Cardigan

**Dusty Cardigan Knitting Pattern: Elegant Short-Row Shaping and Lace Borders** Discover our beautifully designed Dusty Cardigan knitting pattern, crafted using innovative short-row shaping techniques for a flawless top-down construction. This unique cardigan features an elegant off-center, one-button closure that enhances its modern appeal, while the intricate lace border evokes the beauty of hops gracefully climbing tall frames. The A-line shaping creates a flattering silhouette by working a distance away from the sides on both the Fronts and the Back, ensuring a sophisticated drape that drapes beautifully over any outfit. For the Sleeves, you will pick up stitches around the armholes and employ short-row shaping to achieve the refined look of a traditional set-in sleeve. Each border is meticulously crafted using I-cord, providing a sleek and polished finish that elevates this cardigan's overall design.

When working with hand-dyed yarns like Mad Tosh DK Twist, we recommend alternating skeins every two rows to prevent any noticeable color differences, ensuring a uniform appearance throughout your project. **Gauge:** 17.25 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches/10 cm Elevate your knitting experience with the Dusty Cardigan pattern, perfect for knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a stunning, wearable piece.
