Introducing the Harding Cardigan, an elegant long, straight cardigan that combines timeless style with modern flair. Featuring an allover telescope lattice design, this cardigan is not only visually appealing but also offers a delightful textural feel.

Yarn: This stunning cardigan is knitted using Brooklyn Tweed, Shelter (100% wool, 50 g, 128 m/140 yards). The sample is crafted in the beautiful Foothills colorway, showcasing the rich texture of the yarn. For this project, you will need 10 (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) skeins, translating to a total of 1203 (1306, 1410, 1541, 1673, 1834) m/1315 (1428, 1542, 1685, 1830, 2005) yds of luxurious yarn. Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters, this pattern will allow you to create a piece that you can cherish for years to come.
Needles: To craft the Harding Cardigan, you will need a 4.5 mm/US 7 circular needle (80 cm) alongside 4.5 mm/US 7 DPNs. It’s important to adjust the needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge for the perfect fit.
Gauge: The fiddle-hit gauge consists of 22 stitches and 27 rows in the Telescope lattice pattern, which measures 10 cm square. Ensuring your gauge accuracy is crucial for the overall dimensions of your cardigan.
Notes: In this pattern, the back, fronts, and collar are meticulously worked back and forth in separate pieces, while the sleeves are knitted in the round for added comfort and style. After completing the individual components, you will seam the garment together to create a polished finish. During shaping, if you find there aren’t enough stitches to perform a complete cable crossing, simply work the stitches of the partial cable as they appear. This flexibility ensures that you can easily adapt and feel confident in your knitting skills.
