Harvest Moon

This cozy cardigan knitting pattern is designed to be worked from the top down, making it a fun and rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels. With only a minimal amount of seaming involved, you can enjoy a seamless knitting experience. The unique collar is worked first using sideways garter stitch, allowing for a beautiful texture. Once the collar is complete, stitches for the yoke are picked up along the long edge of the collar, seamlessly connecting the two sections. After that, you'll knit the yoke, sleeves, and body in one continuous piece, which enhances comfort and eases shaping.

The pattern provides detailed instructions for adding pockets, ensuring that you can enjoy the practicality of this cardigan without complication. For those looking to add a polished finish, instructions for i-cord edges are included as well; however, if you prefer a simpler approach, you can easily opt for garter stitch edges instead. To achieve the perfect fit, this cardigan is best worn with about 1 or 2 inches of positive ease, allowing for a relaxed and comfortable silhouette. Plus, sizing is easily customizable by adjusting the number of stitches cast on under the arms to suit your personal preferences.

The finished cardigan is beautifully showcased in Berroco Blackstone Tween Aran weight yarn, color 2607, providing a luxurious look and feel. For knitters looking for alternatives, we also suggest substitute colors that will work wonderfully for this pattern. Whether you’re making this cozy cardigan for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, it's sure to be a beloved addition to any wardrobe!
