This beautifully designed cardigan features a wide garter-stitch shawl collar that wraps elegantly around and behind, forming a chic peplum style. The body of the cardigan showcases a delightful "scales" stitch pattern paired with raglan shaping, providing both comfort and fashion-forward design. The easy (no-wrap) short rows integrated within the garter stitch collar and border not only offer essential shaping but also add an eye-catching design element. Meanwhile, cable decreases introduce a subtle yet stylish detail to the raglan shaping, elevating this piece to a must-have in any knitwear collection.

Designed to be worked in one continuous piece from the bottom up, this cardigan is suitable for knitters looking to expand their skills or create a standout garment. The sample shown is size 34, worn with 1” ease on the model and -2” ease on the dress form, making it a versatile fit for various body types.

Gauge is essential for ensuring the perfect fit; this pattern calls for 18 stitches and 25 rows to equal 4” in Stockinette stitch and pattern stitch, alongside 19 stitches and 29 rows in garter stitch. Be sure to measure gauge from the center stitches of a generously sized washed and dried swatch to achieve the desired results.
