Gaon Cardigan

Inspired by the elegant silhouette of the traditional Korean Jeogori, the Gaon Cardigan is a beautifully designed, seamed, bottom-up cardigan perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This captivating piece features a unique three-by-one texture that flows seamlessly throughout the garment, complemented by a thoughtfully crafted button band that is worked simultaneously for added convenience. The construction includes separate panels for the back, front left, and front right, allowing for flexibility and ease of assembly. The button band is intricately worked alongside the front panels, then skillfully seamed to connect at the sides and finished using a three-needle bind-off at the shoulders for a professional touch. To complete the design, the button band is elegantly finished at the back neckline, adding a refined detail to this stylish cardigan.

The sleeves are expertly picked up and worked in the round from the armholes, ensuring a smooth and polished finish. Additionally, short rows are incorporated to shape the shoulder, enhancing the overall comfort and fit of this gorgeous cardigan. Perfect for layering in any season, the Gaon Cardigan is a versatile staple that can elevate any wardrobe.
