Simnia Cardigan
Simnia Cardigan is a beautifully crafted traditional yoke style cardigan featuring a delightful flared skirt. The intricate patterning on the skirt is reminiscent of lovely sea shells, making it a unique addition to your knitting repertoire. This pattern consists of a repeat of just six stitches, which is simple to memorize, allowing knitters of all skill levels to create this stunning design with ease. Additionally, you have the flexibility to adjust both the sleeve and skirt lengths to suit your personal style or fit preferences.
This stylish cardigan is designed to be worked from the top down seamlessly, which means there are no troublesome seams to sew afterward. You will start by knitting flat in rows from the neckband to the sleeve separation. At this point, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, so you can focus on finishing the elegant skirt. Once the skirt is completed, the sleeve stitches are transferred back to the needles, whether you choose circular needles or DPNs, and are knitted seamlessly down to the cuffs. For those looking to add a touch of sophistication, optional short rows can be utilized to provide shaping at the back of the yoke, enhancing both fit and comfort. Moreover, the button bands are cleverly knitted alongside the rest of the garment in one continuous piece, which simplifies the finishing process.
The main sample of the Simnia Cardigan is showcased in the stunning Lavanda yarn by Colour Adventures, highlighting the elegant design and intricate details of this timeless piece.
For those interested in creating a complete outfit, the Simnia Cardigan is also available as part of the 'Simnia Layette' collection, which includes a charming matching hat, cozy booties, warm mitts, and adorable blankets, making it a perfect gift for new parents or a beautiful addition to your own baby wardrobe.
Whether you are an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, the Simnia Cardigan offers a wonderful opportunity to enhance your skills while creating a lovely garment that is sure to be cherished for years to come.
