Slightly Dotty
Introducing the delightful Polka Dot Cardigan, a name that truly speaks for itself! If you love playful patterns and cozy knits, this cardigan is your next must-have project. As an avid fan of polka dots, I've dreamt of creating a unique sweater incorporating this charming motif, but finding the perfect yarn and pattern combination proved challenging—until now! With the scrumptious Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light yarn, renowned for its ultra-soft texture and beautiful variegated colors, I finally found my winning combination. This design employs four stunning colors: three sophisticated shades of gray paired with a warm off-white, all artfully combined in six different variations to create a vibrant and eye-catching garment.
This Polka Dot Cardigan is thoughtfully crafted using a bottom-up construction method and knit in the round for seamless elegance. To achieve the perfect fit, the cardigan features steeks for the front, armholes, neck, and sleeve caps. The stylish fronts are enhanced with picked-up stitches that create a chic double buttonband, perfectly designed for snaps. This not only adds a lovely detail but also keeps the cardigan secure and comfortably fitted.
One of the best aspects of this pattern is its versatility; it's a fantastic way to utilize single skeins of yarn that you may have lying around! Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this pattern is approachable, allowing you to develop your skills while creating a stunning piece for your wardrobe.
Sizes offered include XS (S, M, L, XL), accommodating bust circumferences of 72/76, 80/86, 91/96, 102/106, and 111/116 cm (28/30, 32/34, 36/38, 40/42, 44/46 inches). The finished measurements for the cardigan, when laid flat and closed, are 41(46, 48, 50, 52) cm (15.5, 16, 17, 17.75, 18.5 inches), with a little bit of negative ease for that stylish, tailored look. Our sample garment showcases a model who stands 1.78m (5'10") tall, wearing a size S, illustrating the flattering fit and design.
