Emrys Cardigan

The Emrys cardigan is a timeless piece, elegantly embodying its Welsh name, which means “immortal.” Just like its namesake, this classic sweater transcends fleeting fashion trends and will remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come. Perfectly versatile, the Emrys cardigan can be dressed up for a stylish day out or dressed down for cozy days spent indoors—imagine wearing it over pajamas while enjoying crisp morning air on the porch. Designed with thick cable patterns and a generous shawl collar, this cardigan maximizes comfort and warmth, making it an essential item for every season.

Knit from a sumptuous 100% wool yarn, this soon-to-be favorite garment is made for daily wear, catering to every occasion and style preference. The construction of the Emrys cardigan is impressively designed to be knit in one piece from the bottom up. The body is divided at the underarms, allowing the sleeves to be knitted separately all the way to the shoulders. Subtle shaping is achieved with short rows, and the sleeves are then picked up from the armholes and worked in the round until they reach the cuffs. In the finishing stages, the button band and shawl collar are meticulously picked up, with the collar elegantly shaped using short rows, ensuring a delightful fit.

For those passionate about knitting, the cable patterns featured in the Emrys cardigan are both charted and written, making it accessible for knitters of varying skill levels. Whether you're an experienced artisan or a novice eager to expand your repertoire, this pattern offers a fulfilling and enjoyable knitting experience.
