Porter Cardigan

Introducing the timeless Porter Cardigan – a classic cabled cardigan that adds a touch of elegance to any knitting enthusiast's wardrobe! This beautifully designed piece is a fun and engaging project that you can eagerly add to your collection, as its sophisticated style never goes out of fashion. Perfect for a cozy evening or casual outings, the Porter Cardigan is your go-to layering option that will seamlessly coordinate with nearly everything in your closet.

The construction of this cardigan features a body knit from the bottom up, flat, while the sleeves are created from the bottom up in the round. At the underarms, the sleeves are elegantly joined to the body, allowing for a comfortable fit. The clever raglan decreases are made throughout the yoke, with a unique twist that ensures the intricate cable design continues seamlessly up the shoulders. To complete the look, buttonbands are skillfully picked up for the front, enhancing the cardigan's classic appeal. Although our sample does not use a smaller needle size for the ribbing, many knitters prefer to achieve a more snug ribbing by working with tighter needles, allowing for a customized finish.

The Porter Cardigan is available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate various body types, with finished chest measurements of 31¼ (35, 39¼, 42½, 46, 50, 54¾) inches. It's designed to be worn with a cozy fit, featuring approximately 0-4 inches of positive ease, ensuring comfort and style in every wear.

Yarn: Crafted using Peace Fleece, this yarn blend comprises 75% pure fine wool and 25% mohair, offering a luxurious feel with a robust texture—200 yards per 4 oz skein provides ample material for your project.
