Julka Cardi

Introducing the “Julka Cardigan” – a beautifully designed seamless overlapping-front cardigan that effortlessly combines style and comfort. This charming cardigan features a feminine silhouette, with an interesting slanted shoulder construction, elbow-length sleeves, and an elegant delicate lace pattern adorning the Fronts. Perfect for layering or as a standalone piece, the Julka Cardigan is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe.

This stunning garment is skillfully knitted from the top down, beginning with a long-tail cast-on for maximum comfort and stretch. To achieve the unique slanted shoulder line, the Back is expertly shaped using short rows, enhancing the flattering fit of the cardigan. Once the Back is completed to the armhole, the stitches are placed on hold to seamlessly transition into the Fronts. Stitches for the Fronts are then picked up one row in from the cast-on edge, creating an imitated shoulder “seam” look that adds to its unique character. The Fronts are worked down to the armhole, where the parts are joined and continued together down to the hem, culminating in a polished finish with a neat i-cord edge.

Upon completing the body of the cardigan, you’ll pick up sleeve stitches around the armholes, and then work the sleeves in the round to an elegant elbow length. The sleeves are finished in a similar fashion, with an applied i-cord edging that mirrors the details of the hem. Whether you are an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, the Julka Cardigan pattern offers a rewarding and enjoyable knitting experience that results in a stylish and functional wardrobe addition.
