Introducing our casual and comfy yoked cardigan pattern, perfect for knitters seeking a stylish yet laid-back addition to their wardrobe. This unique design features an eye-catching blend of stripes, dots, and textured elements, all crafted using variations of a 2-colour garter slip stitch technique. This makes the colour work not only visually appealing but also easy to manage, as you'll only work with one colour per row.

This cardigan begins with a provisional cast on and is skillfully knit flat from the top down. The sleeves are seamlessly crafted in the round from the top down, allowing for easy adjustments to length for that perfect fit. The front bands are designed to match the intricate bottom patterning, creating a cohesive look. To complete the design, the neck band is adorned with garter stitch short rows and a delightful contrast colour dot detail, adding a touch of flair to your finished project.

Our yoked cardigan is designed to be worn with a positive ease of 1-5 inches, offering a stylishly relaxed silhouette. For the best fit, we recommend choosing 0-2 sizes larger than your actual bust measurement, based on your desired amount of ease. Additionally, please note that approximately 1 inch (or 2.5 cm) of positive ease is already incorporated into the design of the front bands. This ensures both comfort and style, making this cardigan a versatile piece for any wardrobe.

So grab your needles and yarn, and dive into this engaging knitting experience! Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting, this pattern will guide you through the process of creating a beautiful, homemade cardigan that you will love wearing or gifting. Enjoy your knitting journey!
