Isosceles cardigan
Discover the stylish charm of our Seamless Mitered Square Cardigan, featuring a unique combination of mitered square and bias stitch patterns that create an elegant yet cozy garment. This almost “seamless” design means you’ll only need to seam the side seams of the sleeves, simplifying your knitting experience as these pieces are worked flat.
This cardigan is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, offering a blend of intricate design and ease of construction. The finished dimensions of the cardigan span across a versatile range of sizes: 18 ( 20, 22, 24, 26)“ / 45 ( 50, 55, 60, 65) cm back width at the bust. Please note that these measurements represent the width of the back; the fronts will drape beautifully when worn, allowing for a variable total circumference of the garment.
The yarn you'll need for this project is the luxurious Silk Garden Sock yarn by Noro, which is a delightful blend of 40% wool, 25% silk, 25% polyamide, and 10% mohair. Each skein weighs 100g/3.53 oz and boasts an impressive 330 yards/300 meters. You will require 5 (5, 6, 6, 7) skeins, translating to a total of 1366 (1498, 1683, 1868, 2086) yards / 1242 (1362, 1530, 1698, 1896) meters of any fingering weight yarn, with a preference for self-striping options to enhance the visual appeal of your cardigan.
To achieve the perfect fit, it’s crucial to follow the gauge specifications: 20 stitches and 28 rows equals 4 inches / 10 cm in stockinette stitch when knitted flat (be sure to alternate between knit and purl rows). Note that the raw gauge in this pattern is critical, as the stitch gauge influences the overall outcome of your beautiful cardigan.
This Seamless Mitered Square Cardigan not only serves as a stylish addition to any wardrobe but also makes for a wonderful knitting project that results in a one-of-a-kind piece you'll cherish for years to come. So gather your materials and get ready to create a stunning cardigan that highlights your knitting skills!
