Lipstick Cardigan
Discover the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe with this flattering cardigan pattern, designed to complement almost any body type. Inspired by the widely popular Opening Night, this unique cardigan features a lovely combination of swing and drape in the front, while maintaining a tailored fit in the back, making it both stylish and comfortable.
This cardigan is created by knitting separate pieces that are then expertly seamed together. This clever construction allows the front collar trim and the bottom hem to cascade gently at the hips, ensuring that it doesn't add any unnecessary bulk at the backside. Whether you're wearing it over a casual outfit or dressing it up for a night out, this cardigan is sure to turn heads.
One of the standout elements of this design is the fun scroll pattern used in the trims. This reversible pattern adds an eye-catching detail without the worry of showing the "wrong side," making this cardigan perfect for any occasion.
The yarn used in this stunning piece is a high-quality, worsted weight, kettle-dyed option called Red Rocks Fiber Works, specifically their "Highlands" line (100% Superwash Merino; shade Red Lipstick). While this particular yarn is no longer available, don't fret! There are many easily substitutable yarns on the market. I recommend checking the options I have listed above; you'll see they share the same type of twist for the best knitting experience.
Embrace the beauty of fall fashion with this must-have cardigan pattern that will add warmth and style to your knitting repertoire. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out on your crafting journey, this versatile cardigan is sure to delight!
