Garden Party Cardi
This delightful and versatile cardigan is the perfect layering piece to wear over a dress or tank top during those cool evenings. Its stylish design and cozy knit make it an essential addition to your wardrobe.
Knit seamlessly from the bottom up, this cardigan features elegant raglan shaping that eliminates the need for any seams, enhancing comfort and ease of wear. The bottom hem and sleeve edges are beautifully finished with a classic 1x1 rib stitch, adding a polished touch. The ribbed button band is cleverly knitted as part of the body of the sweater, crafted in a lovely seed stitch (also known as moss stitch), meaning there’s no sewing required—perfect for knitters of all skill levels. You have the option to customize your cardigan with or without buttons, making it as casual or sophisticated as you desire.
Included in the pattern are detailed instructions for creating either a short-sleeved or 3/4 length sleeve version, allowing you to tailor it to your personal style and seasonal preferences.
The delicate trim at both the sleeves and waist features stylish stripes, intricate lace, and optional beading that elevate this piece with a pretty, feminine flair. For a more glamorous evening look, consider using a touch of metallic or sparkly yarn, transforming your cardigan into a stunning statement piece.
