Floribunda

The Floribunda cardigan is a stunning and versatile addition to any knitwear collection, combining style and comfort. This beautifully designed cardigan features a luxurious stocking stitch body and sleeves, showcasing an elegant yoke adorned with striking, stylised roses that add a touch of sophistication to your outfit. The Floribunda cardigan is crafted from high-quality DK yarn, ensuring an enjoyable knitting experience with simple construction that makes it both interesting and speedy to create.

This delightful piece is worked in the round from the bottom up and includes a convenient steek at the centre front, which allows for easy customization and finishing. Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, the Floribunda cardigan is an ideal project for those looking to enhance their wardrobe with a unique, hand-knit garment.

The sample cardigan is knitted using Susan Crawford Vintage Barn DK, a remarkably soft 100% wool that enhances the overall drape and comfort of the finished piece. Susan is wearing the fourth size of the cardigan, which features 19cm (7.5in) of positive ease across the chest, allowing for a relaxed fit. Floribunda is designed to be worn with a comfortable positive ease of 13-19cm (5.25-7.5in), but if you prefer a more tailored look, you can easily opt to go down a size for a neater fit.

This comprehensive knitting pattern includes clear and concise instructions for nine different sizes, catering to chest measurements ranging from 28 inches (70cm) to an impressive 62 inches (156cm). The pattern also features full-colour charts, a detailed schematic diagram, and a sizing chart to ensure that your knitting experience is seamless and enjoyable.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Floribunda cardigan is a fantastic project that promises to provide both a satisfying knitting journey and a beautiful finished product. Enhance your wardrobe with this elegant cardigan that showcases your knitting skills and adds a touch of charm to any outfit.
