London Bridges Cardigan

Introducing our stunning cardigan knitting pattern, designed with long, elegant lines and a dramatic center-back pleat that brings sophistication to your wardrobe. This beautiful cardigan is knit in one seamless piece from the bottom up to the armholes, ensuring a clean and professional finish. The eye-catching pleat is cleverly knitted in and then bound off for a polished look. For added detail, separate pieces are created for the back yoke, collar, and sleeves. The sleeves are skillfully knitted in the round and then sewn into the armholes for a perfect fit.

Our knitting pattern offers a range of finished sizes, making it suitable for various body types. You can create sizes XS (33”) through XXL (49”), with the precise bust measurements calculated while the cardigan is held closed (with the two sides of the shawl collar touching, but not overlapping). For reference, the model in the photo is wearing size S, which fits a bust measurement of 35” (89 cm).

We recommend checking the gauge for this project to achieve the best results. The gauge measures 4” (10cm) equating to 16 stitches x 20 rows in Stockinette stitch on larger needles. Additionally, a gauge of 4” (10cm) is required to achieve 14.5 stitches x 24 rows in seed stitch on smaller needles. This ensures that your cardigan will fit correctly and look fabulous.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this cardigan pattern is the perfect addition to your collection. With its stylish design, it can be dressed up or down for any occasion, making it a versatile piece for your fall and winter wardrobe. Get started today and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a beautiful, handmade cardigan that you can wear with pride!
