Kathe Cardigan

Introducing the Kathe Cardigan—a beautifully crafted straight cardigan that features an exquisite scarf collar enhanced with a stunning all-over lace texture. This versatile piece is perfect for any knitting enthusiast looking to add elegance to their wardrobe. The reversible fern pattern gracefully adorns both the body and sleeves, while the collar stands out, divided by a neat tuck and knitted in a cozy moss stitch. You have the option to wear the collar hanging flat—either overlapping or pinned together—or folded for a chic look.

Gauge: When knitting the Kathe Cardigan, please note the following gauge measurements to ensure your cardigan fits perfectly: 28 stitches and 36 rows in the Reverse Fern pattern measures 10 cm square, 26 stitches and 44 rows in Moss stitch measures 10 cm square, and 24 stitches and 36 rows in stockinette stitch (st st) measures 10 cm square.

Notes: This stylish cardigan is worked in parts, knitted back and forth, and then seamed for a professional finish. During shaping, if you encounter a situation where there aren't enough stitches to perform an increase (yarn over) alongside the corresponding decrease, simply work the stitches of the partial lace as they appear to maintain the pattern's integrity. The tuck at the collar is skillfully created using two circular needles held parallel, giving it a unique flair. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, the Kathe Cardigan is a delightful project to uplift your skills and enhance your wardrobe.

Perfect for layering, this cardigan is ideal for both casual outings and more sophisticated events. Don't miss your chance to knit this elegant piece and make it a staple in your collection! Download our free or paid patterns today to start your knitting journey with the Kathe Cardigan.
