Fayston Cardigan

The Fayston Cardigan is a beautifully designed bottom-up cardigan, ideal for knitters who enjoy intricate details and elegant shaping. This unique cardigan is constructed in separate pieces, with the back measuring 2 inches longer than the front for a flattering and stylish silhouette. The front section features a delightful stockinette stitch embellished with a classic 1x1 rib edging, creating a polished finish. In contrast, the lower back begins with a captivating lace pattern, skillfully crafted in a lighter weight yarn that adds an element of charm and sophistication. This lace portion gracefully transitions through short rows to create a subtle curved shape, before shifting into a luxurious stockinette stitch section made from a heavier weight yarn for added warmth and comfort. Once the pieces are completed, they are seamlessly joined, and stitches are expertly picked up to work the set-in sleeves. These sleeves are knitted in the round, utilizing short rows to achieve a beautifully shaped sleeve cap that fits perfectly. Furthermore, the elegant 1x1 ribbing from the front extends beautifully into a knitted-on collar at the back, ensuring a clean and refined look. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or a dedicated beginner, the Fayston Cardigan pattern offers an enjoyable and rewarding knitting experience. Embrace your creativity and make this exquisite cardigan a standout addition to your wardrobe, perfect for layering or showcasing on its own.
