Soay

Introducing Soay, a stunning addition to Gudrun's new collection, Knit With Me. This versatile cardigan pattern is now available as an individual download, making it easy for knitters of all levels to enjoy. Designed to be worked bottom-up in one seamless piece, Soay is a modern cardigan that combines style and functionality.

The clever construction begins with working the body until the armholes, at which point you’ll divide to create the front and back sections separately. The elegant sleeves are knitted seamlessly, achieved by picking up stitches around the armhole and using short rows to shape the cap, ensuring a polished finish. Additionally, the cardigan features beautiful button bands and neckline detailing, completed with a clean I-Cord Bind Off for that perfect touch of sophistication. Soay is an incredibly adaptable cardigan, seamlessly transitioning from casual to dressed-up occasions, making it your go-to piece for spring!

This beautiful design is showcased in size 35 inches (89 cm) with 1½ inches of negative ease, providing a flattering fit that enhances your silhouette. The sample is crafted using Quince & Co. Chickadee in the delightful colorway "Honey." For added creativity, other listed yarns are suggested alternatives, allowing you to personalize your Soay cardigan exactly to your preferences.

Whether you're looking to create a cozy layer for everyday wear or a chic accompaniment for a special outing, Soay is sure to become a beloved staple in your wardrobe. Perfect for knitters eager to enhance their skills while enjoying a stylish project, this cardigan is a must-have for your knitting repertoire!
