Hauberk

Introducing the Hauberk Cardigan – a modern twist on the classic cardigan that beautifully merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. This exquisite cardigan features striking cable and seed stitch patterns reminiscent of chain mail, with an emphasis on the elegantly crafted sleeves. Knit from the bottom up, the pattern begins with the sleeves before progressing to the body, utilizing soft worsted weight yarn for a cozy and comfortable wear. The Hauberk Cardigan’s simple yet sophisticated design incorporates raglan shaping along the yoke and features extra-long, cable-infused sleeves that are not only stylish but also incredibly inviting to wear.

This versatile knitting pattern allows for easy customization, enabling knitters to adapt it to any body or sleeve length to achieve the perfect fit. To elevate the design further, optional short row sections can be added to the neck and back, providing a meticulously tailored appearance. The cardigan is finished with a classic neck ribbing and a button band, with wooden buttons that add a touch of warmth and charm. The original design is created using Malabrigo Rios yarn in the lovely color Wholegrain, making it a delightful addition to any wardrobe.

This pattern is particularly beginner-friendly while offering enough complexity to engage more experienced knitters, making it ideal for all skill levels. Please note that the cable pattern is only available in chart format, providing an exciting challenge for those looking to enhance their knitting skills.
