Kerenza

Introducing Kerenza, a romantic Cornish name that embodies the essence of love, just like this charming cardigan design! Crafted with care, this exquisite piece features a tailored top that transitions seamlessly into an A-line shaped body, providing ample room in the hips for comfort and style. The cardigan showcases beautiful cables and delightful details, all beautifully finished with a romantic closure at the top of the front, lending an elegant touch to your wardrobe. I chose to work with Carol Feller’s wonderful Nua yarn for this design, a blend of luxurious merino, soft yak, and airy linen that is absolutely dreamy to knit with. This amazing yarn offers incredible stitch definition, making it a perfect partner for this detailed cardigan design.

Designed to fit a size of 35”/87.5 cm, this cardigan is modeled with slight positive ease to ensure a comfortable fit. The Kerenza cardigan is constructed from the top down in one continuous piece, featuring set-in sleeves for a polished finish. The shoulders are skillfully shaped with short rows, ensuring a flattering fit across the shoulders. The garment is thoughtfully designed with a tailor-fitted yoke and a flared lower body, which enhances your silhouette beautifully.

What's more, the length of both the body and the sleeves can be easily adjusted to suit your personal preference, allowing you to create a customized look that fits you perfectly. The front bands are cleverly integrated as part of the cardigan body, designed to be buttonless for a sleek appearance and intended for a top closure. This design feature adds to its unique charm and makes it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire.
