Short Closed

Introducing the Short Closed Cardigan—a stylish boxy cardigan that is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down. This versatile pattern allows for effortless knitting, as both the fronts and back are crafted separately with short-row shoulder shaping, ensuring a perfect fit. After the shoulder area is complete, the pieces are cleverly joined at the underarm, allowing you to knit the lower body in one continuous piece all the way to the hem for a polished look. The sleeves are then skillfully created by picking up stitches around the arm openings and worked down in the round for a smooth finish. To add a refined touch, the front and neck edging is finished neatly with an I-cord, creating a beautiful frame for your face.

Finished Measurements (Back): XS-S (S-M, M-L, L-XL, XL-2XL) = 65 (72, 78, 89, 96) cm / 25.5 (28, 30.5, 35, 38) inches. This cardigan is designed with a generous amount of positive ease (+45 cm / 18 inches) at the bust, making it perfect for layering over your favorite outfits. Whether you're dressing it up for a night out or keeping it casual for everyday wear, this Short Closed Cardigan is the ultimate addition to your knitting wardrobe.
