Knitting Pattern: Seamless Top-Down Cardigan
Discover the joy of knitting with our beautifully designed cardigan pattern. This seamless, top-down cardigan is expertly crafted to be knitted flat in rows, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. With its stretchy neckline—achieved through a tubular cast-on technique—this cardigan features 9-10 cm / 3-4 inches of positive ease for a comfortable, relaxed fit. The design incorporates ample stockinette knitting, making it an excellent choice for those looking to showcase their knitting skills with a classic staple piece.
The round yoke, hemline, and armbands are adorned with charming lines of bubbles that mimic the look of delicate glass beads, adding a touch of elegance to your finished piece. These decorative bubbles are knitted in a contrast color, allowing you to creatively use up small amounts of sport-weight yarn from your stash. The body of the cardigan also features cleverly designed fake seams that enhance fit and style, while the sleeves are knitted in the round after completing the body, ensuring a smooth and cohesive look.
To complete the cardigan, button bands are picked up along the front edges and knitted last, giving you the flexibility to customize the look further. This versatile pattern is written in a “one-size, one-page” format, providing all essential information—including yarn recommendations, measurements, stitch instructions, and abbreviations—concisely on one page, making it easy to follow along.
Additionally, our pattern includes a helpful recipe for adjusting the cardigan size to accommodate your special little one, ensuring that your finished garment fits perfectly. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, this cardigan pattern promises to be a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Start your knitting journey today and create a beautiful, bespoke cardigan that you or your loved one will cherish!
