Lady Mary

Discover the enchanting world of knitting with our lightweight Lady Mary-inspired cardigan pattern, featured in the popular television series Downton Abbey. Set in the picturesque North Riding of Yorkshire, England, this series captures the elegance and sophistication of early 20th-century fashion, making it a timeless source of inspiration. The ladies of Downton Abbey are often dressed in delicate, feminine, and classic wardrobes that highlight their exquisite style, and this cardigan perfectly embodies that essence.

Inspired by Lady Mary, a character known for her strong-willed demeanor paired with a hopelessly romantic heart, this cardigan is an ideal choice for the spring season. Designed to be both stylish and functional, this lightweight knitting pattern is perfect for transitioning between chilly and warm days.

Our cardigan is knitted from the top down, seamlessly in the round, allowing for a smooth finish and a comfortable fit. The intricate yoke is crafted first, providing a beautiful showcase for the lacework. The sleeves are held until the body is completed, ensuring a perfectly tailored look. For a touch of drama, the sleeves feature both shaping and a stunning lace section, making this cardigan a standout piece in any wardrobe.

This pattern has been expertly test knitted by Cassie Rosse (Rav ID: [MustKass][1]), ensuring accuracy and quality in every stitch. Photography by Martin D. Ciao beautifully captures the elegant details of this design.
