GARDEN cardigan
Introducing the GARDEN Cardigan — the perfect open front cardigan designed specifically for those long days spent in the garden. It elegantly stays on your shoulders while providing warmth around your neckline, thanks to its thoughtful design. The easy lace pattern adds a touch of elegance, making it a stylish choice for any gardening enthusiast.
The GARDEN Cardigan is crafted seamlessly from the top down, ensuring a comfortable fit and beautifully finished look. You begin by working on the back until you reach the desired length for the armholes. Next, stitches are picked up for the front panels, which are knitted to match the back length. Once completed, you join the back and fronts together to create the body, continuing in an exquisite stitch pattern down to the cozy bottom ribbing. The sleeves are picked up and knitted top down in rounds, ensuring they are identical. For an extra touch of practicality, you have the option to add pockets—perfect for storing your gardening tools or seeds. Plus, with just the ends to weave in, there’s no complicated finishing required!
The finished GARDEN Cardigan boasts a bust circumference of: 102 (114, 126, 140, 152, 164) cm / 40 (45, 49½, 55, 60, 64½). This garment is thoughtfully designed to be worn with approximately 25 cm (10") of positive ease for smaller sizes and narrower body types, while offering gradually less positive ease for larger and busty figures. This makes the GARDEN Cardigan not only a practical addition to your gardening wardrobe but also a versatile piece that can transition seamlessly into everyday wear.
Whether you're pulling weeds, planting seeds, or simply enjoying your backyard oasis, the GARDEN Cardigan is your go-to knitwear companion.
