Jensen Cardigan

Introducing the Jensen Cardigan—a timeless wardrobe staple that combines classic design with modern elegance. This beautifully crafted cardigan features a striking geometric lace section that spans from shoulder to shoulder across the back, as well as delicate lace eyelets that gracefully adorn the long v-neckline. Designed with a modern fit, the Jensen Cardigan offers positive ease in the body, while the slim-fit sleeves ensure a flattering silhouette. Both chart and written instructions are included in the pattern, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.

The Jensen Cardigan is expertly knit from the top down in a seamless construction. Your knitting journey begins at the back shoulders and is worked downward until you reach the armholes, where the project is put on hold. Afterward, you will pick up stitches for the Right and Left Fronts directly from the back shoulders, continuing the design down to the armholes. Once the body is complete, all pieces are joined together and worked down to the stylish bottom hem. The sleeves are then picked up directly from the body, allowing you to work in rounds down to the cuffs for a polished finish. Finally, the cardigan’s border is added last, giving it that perfect touch of finesse.
