German Staple

The “German Staple” raglan sleeve cardigan is the perfect addition to any knitwear collection, making it an essential wardrobe staple that effortlessly complements a variety of outfits. This beautifully designed cardigan is knitted from the top down with flattering raglan sleeves, ensuring a comfortable fit and stylish silhouette. Featuring a traditional garter stitch fabric, this pattern includes an adorable small heart detail in stranded color work on the back, adding a touch of charm to your garment.

To elevate the cardigan’s style, I’ve incorporated a lovely pink i-cord edging and added wooden buttons. However, this versatile pattern allows for customization! You can easily create different looks by opting for various button styles, using a smooth stocking stitch fabric, or omitting the heart detail altogether. This flexibility means that you can enjoy this pattern for many years, crafting a wardrobe that reflects your unique style.

This cardigan pattern is recommended for intermediate knitters, making it a perfect project to enhance your knitting skills. Each step is meticulously explained in the pattern, ensuring that you can follow along with ease. Plus, I'm here to assist with any questions you may have as you work through the project, providing support to ensure your success.
