Scarlett Cardigan

Discover the perfect cardigan or coat for fall with our stunning knitting pattern! This beautifully designed cardigan is crafted from the top down, starting with a cozy collar that sets the stage for a stylish and versatile piece. Once the collar is complete, you will work on the front and back pieces separately, expertly combining them past the armholes for a seamless finish. A charming garter stitch button-band is created simultaneously, adding a unique touch to your creation.

For the sleeves, you have two convenient options to choose from. You can either pick up stitches around the armholes and utilize short-row shaping for the sleeve caps, or you can knit the sleeves from the top down separately and seam them to the body. Detailed instructions are provided for both methods, ensuring that every knitter can find the technique that suits them best.

This pattern includes both a clear chart and written directions for the intricate cables, allowing for an enjoyable knitting experience regardless of your skill level. With finished chest measurements ranging from 32 to 64 inches (81.5 to 162.5 cm), this cardigan is designed to provide a flattering fit for everyone.

The sample was knit in size 36 inches, offering 2 inches of positive ease for that perfect drape. To create this eye-catching cardigan, you will need Mosaic Moon Targhee DK yarn, made from 100% Targhee Wool, which provides warmth and comfort. The yarn requirements are as follows: 5 (6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10) skeins, in the stunning Gryffindor House Red colorway. This equates to approximately 1400 (1592, 1750, 1940, 2150, 2275, 2550, 2730, 2930) yards of soft, high-quality yarn.
