Kimono Fana Cardigan
About the Design This stunning knitted sweater beautifully combines my passion for traditional Fana sweaters with the elegant simplicity of Japanese kimono aesthetics. I am captivated by the effortless grace of the kimono and how it seamlessly integrates with the rich Norwegian Fana motifs. The flattering color placement and expertly fitted waist make this garment not only stylish but also incredibly modern and wearable for various occasions.
The construction of the sweater is designed for ease and enjoyment. It is worked flat on a circular needle up to the underarms, allowing you to create a beautifully finished piece without the hassle of complex joins. Once the body is complete, sleeves are thoughtfully picked up and knitted down to the cuff, ensuring a perfect fit. The front band is crafted seamlessly in one continuous piece, which enhances the clean lines of the design. The pattern features delightful short sections of colorwork that add a melodic and rhythmic element to the knitting process, making it a joy to create.
