Fager

Fager Cardigan, whose name means “fair” in Swedish, is a beautifully simple and elegant top-down cardigan designed for comfort and style. With its unique A-line shape and charming ribbon closure, the Fager cardi offers a perfect blend of warmth and sophistication. This delightful pattern knits up extremely quickly at a loose gauge and involves almost no purling, making it an ideal project for knitters of any skill level.

Crafted using a combination of fingering weight yarn held together with a delicate lace weight mohair, the Fager cardigan creates a soft, warm, and cozy "cloud" effect, perfect for wrapping around yourself during chilly evenings. It's an excellent choice for utilizing self-striping sock yarns, which can add a splash of color to your wardrobe. Prefer a heavier drape? Simply substitute the yarns for worsted weight, and you’ll achieve a beautifully draped, comfortable cardi that’s perfect for any occasion.
