Fredericton

Introducing the Fredericton Unisex Cardigan, a versatile and stylish addition to your knitting repertoire. This cardigan design features a stunning marled effect, achieved by knitting with two strands of yarn held together, ensuring a unique texture that stands out. The garment is primarily worked in Reverse Stocking Stitch, adding depth and visual interest to what is otherwise a simple yet elegant piece.

The Fredericton Cardigan boasts a classic shawl collar, convenient set-in pockets, and rolled-up cuffs, making it both functional and fashionable. An optional crochet collar edging not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also adds a touch of handcrafted charm. This cardigan is truly a wardrobe staple, embodying a timeless style that can be cherished for years to come.

This pattern is intended to be worn with 2.5-10cm / 1-4” of positive ease, allowing for a comfortable fit. For a more relaxed "boyfriend" style, the women’s version of the cardigan is the perfect choice, offering effortless chic for any season.

As an alternative to using two strands of sport weight yarn, you can opt for a single strand of aran weight wool to create a beautifully solid color fabric that still retains the cozy feel of the original design. The samples were expertly knit using Briggs & Little Sport yarn, a reliable choice for quality and durability.

For those looking to add a bit of individuality, you may choose to incorporate an optional crochet trim using a 3.5mm / E hook and approximately 20 yards of worsted or aran weight yarn in a contrasting shade. This small detail allows for personalization, making your Fredericton Cardigan uniquely yours.
