Gemma

Introducing the Gemma Cardigan, a stunning piece named after the Latin word for “jewel.” This beautifully designed cardigan features an exquisite lace “necklace” detail at the collar, making it a standout addition to your knitting collection. Gemma is crafted in one seamless piece from the top down utilizing a circular yoke construction, ensuring a perfect fit and minimal finishing work. To enhance comfort and style, short rows are incorporated to raise the back collar—creating a flattering silhouette for any body type.

The cozy three-quarter length sleeves are slightly puffed and include delicate cuffs that mirror the enchanting lace pattern found at the collar. With its versatile design, Gemma is sure to become an essential wardrobe staple that you can pair with a variety of outfits. This cardigan not only offers warmth and elegance but also showcases your knitting skills, making it perfect for intermediate knitters looking to advance their technique.

For the sample, we recommend using Knit Picks Swish DK, made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, known for its softness and durability. This yarn choice contributes to the overall comfort and drape of the finished cardigan. Explore the alternative yarns recommended below to find the perfect fit for your creative vision.
