Nara Cardigan

Discover the Nara cardigan, a beautifully crafted piece inspired by the Keltic word for "the happy one." This cozy cardigan design is not just a knitting project; it's a heartfelt creation that seeks to blend timeless elegance with comfort. My vision was to develop a cardigan that you can easily wrap around yourself, offering both warmth and style, complete with a plethora of charming details. The oversized silhouette invites you to snuggle in, ensuring you feel good no matter the occasion.

The unique oversized shape features dropped shoulders, giving it a relaxed fit and a contemporary feel. The body is thoughtfully designed to be slightly longer at the back and on the sides compared to the front, enhancing its stylish flair. The cardigan also boasts a double-knit collar and professionally crafted buttonholes, which are integrated directly into the design for a polished look. The slim-fitting sleeves are knitted straight and finished with double-knit cuffs, allowing for adjustments to customize the fit to your size.

Available in sizes 1, (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), it’s essential to choose your desired size carefully. The Nara cardigan is intentionally designed with a positive ease of 25-40 cm, providing a comfortable and roomy fit. To determine the best size for you, consider how much ease you prefer in your garments. Note that the cardigan’s extra width results in dropped shoulders, so the sleeve openings are intentionally lower than those of a traditional well-fitting sweater. If you plan to make alterations, please take this into account to ensure the perfect fit for your Nara cardigan.

Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this cardigan pattern is a great addition to your collection, offering both a challenging yet enjoyable knitting experience. Embrace the joy of creating your very own Nara cardigan and enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings year-round!
