Moraine
Introducing the Moraine Wrap Cardigan, your new favorite cozy companion for chilly days. This beautifully designed cardigan features an intricately cabled back that adds a touch of elegance, while the simple stockinette fronts provide a clean and timeless look. The long ribbed sleeves are not only stylish but also ensure that the shape of the cardigan remains flattering and not overwhelming. These sleeves stretch comfortably over your favorite tee or blouse, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
One of the standout features of the Moraine Wrap Cardigan is its extra-long shawl collar. This versatile collar can be worn scrunched up at the back of your neck for added warmth and comfort, making it perfect for layering in cooler weather. The shawl collar is completed with a tidy I-cord bind-off, enhancing the overall polished look of this design.
The construction of the Moraine Cardigan incorporates a thoughtful combination of techniques: the fronts and back are worked flat and then sewn together before adding the beautiful shawl collar. The set-in sleeves are crafted in the round until the underarm, after which they are completed flat for a refined sleeve cap. To allow for ease of movement and to highlight the gorgeous back cables, the waist ties are worked separately and sewn discreetly to the side seams. This ensures that there’s nothing obstructing the view of those stunning cables.
When it comes to yarn, the Moraine Wrap Cardigan is designed for worsted weight yarn, requiring between 1400 to 2670 yards, depending on your size choice (sizes: 1400, 1450, 1530, 1600, 1640, 1820, 1930, 2100, 2260, 2550, 2670 yds). The original sample is shown in Fleece Artist Organic Wool, which is now discontinued; however, we provide suggested substitutes for your convenience.
This cardigan is not only a beautiful piece to knit but also a functional and stylish garment that you will treasure for years to come. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, the Moraine Wrap Cardigan pattern is a delightful way to showcase your knitting talent. Whether you wear it for casual outings or cozy nights in, this cardigan will keep you warm and stylish!
