Moia
Introducing the Moia cardigan—a beautiful homage to the Danish word for mother, embodying warmth and comfort. This long, straight cardigan envelops you like a gentle embrace, featuring a wide, reversible cable collar that can be styled in multiple ways. The Moia cardigan is designed with long cuffs and a flattering silhouette, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe for any season. Made primarily in stockinette stitch, the main body of the cardigan allows the stunning cable pattern to truly shine, creating a visually appealing texture that you'll love to wear.
Versatility is key with the Moia cardigan; you can choose to wear the collar overlapped for a cozy, wrapped look or as a shawl collar, showcasing the contrasting side for a more casual style. Secure it effortlessly with a belt or a stylish shawl pin, allowing you to express your personality and flair. For an added touch of elegance and to enhance the versatility of your outfit, consider knitting the matching Benete scarf to create a larger collar effect. The Moia cardigan is expertly crafted using the luxurious, soft chainette Woolfolk Får yarn, ensuring that it feels as good as it looks.
Yarn: Woolfolk, Får (100% Merino Wool, 50 g, 130 m) provides ultimate softness and warmth without compromising on style.
Needles: Use two sets of 4.5 mm circular needles (80 cm length), with an extra set for the hem and belt. For added detail, two 4.5 mm double-pointed needles are recommended for the creation of belt loops.
Gauge: Achieve a perfect fit with a gauge of 19 stitches and 28 rows in stockinette stitch using a 4.5 mm/US 7 needle, measuring 10 cm/4” square after blocking, ensuring your finished cardigan drapes beautifully.
Notes: The Moia cardigan is lovingly worked in separate pieces and seamed for a professional finish. The collar is cast on separately, allowing for seamless attachment to each front after the hem is completed, ensuring durability and style. Embrace the cozy elegance of the Moia cardigan and create a timeless piece that you'll cherish for years to come. Perfect for knitting enthusiasts and beginners alike, this pattern will inspire your creativity and elevate your knitting skills.
