Finn

Introducing the Finn Lightweight Cardigan, the ideal knit project for transitional weather! This elegant cardigan features a stunning Eyelet Mesh pattern on both the yoke and sleeves, complemented by a sleek stockinette body. The thoughtful design includes garter stitch edges and waist shaping, making the Finn cardigan versatile enough for both office wear and a stylish downtown outing.

One of the standout features of the Finn cardigan is its top-down construction, which incorporates set-in sleeves achieved through short row shaping. This innovative method allows for a customized fit and effortless wearing experience. Designed to embrace a silhouette with 0-2 inches (0-5 cm) of negative ease, the Finn cardigan offers a flattering and comfortable style for a variety of body types.

For best results, adhere to the gauge of 20 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in the Eyelet Mesh pattern, and 26 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette. The finished garment measures a variety of sizes at the bust, ranging from 30 inches (76 cm) up to 63 inches (160 cm), making it an inclusive option for knitters of all sizes.

The Finn cardigan pattern calls for 885 to 1850 yards (810 to 1700 meters) of fingering-weight wool, ensuring a cozy and light feel. A suggested yarn is Malabrigo Sock in “Eggplant,” which is 100g/440 yards (402 meters) per skein for a vibrant finish. Whether you opt for a classic shade or a bold hue, your knit will shine in this beautiful design.

The sample shown is in size 42 inches (106.75 cm), modeled on a figure that stands 5'4” tall with a bust measurement of 44 inches (111.75 cm). This project is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a timeless piece for their wardrobe.
