Jewel Cardigan
Introducing the beautiful Jewel Cardigan, an exquisite top-down knitting pattern designed for knitters of all skill levels. This cozy cardigan is worked in one seamless piece, making it ideal for those who enjoy streamlined and efficient knitting projects. The sleeves are expertly picked up at the armholes and worked top down in the round, allowing for a polished finish. Featuring stylish in-set pockets that harmonize with the accent color, this cardigan includes two functional front pockets and a clever secret pocket cleverly hidden in the cuff for stashing small essentials.
Crafted with a bulky yarn, the Jewel Cardigan serves as the perfect layering piece for both Fall and Spring, transitioning seamlessly into a warm winter cardigan as the temperatures drop. Its flattering shape is designed to be slightly A-line, providing a slightly fitted silhouette at the shoulders with gentle increases along the sides that not only enhance its overall fit but also create a beautiful drape over the hips.
Available Sizes:
XS (S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL)
