Springback Cardi

Discover this beautifully designed drop shoulder cardigan pattern, perfect for those who love oversized comfort in any DK yarn.

Whether it’s spring, summer, fall, or winter, this versatile cardigan will keep you cozy and stylish, adaptable to your unique taste based on your yarn choice.

Featuring elegant lace panels on the sleeves and at the high waist, this cardigan creates a gentle nipped-in silhouette that flows gracefully with a subtle flare, depending on the softness of your selected yarn.

The construction of the garment is user-friendly and ideal for knitters of various skill levels: begin with the bodices worked from the bottom up, followed by the body knit from the top down, incorporating stunning lacework all the way to the hemline. The sleeves are also crafted top down for a seamless look.

This pattern ensures that the lacework remains manageable and enjoyable, as it consists of quick and easy repeats that can be worked back and forth across the garment’s width. You will need both 4.5mm and 4mm (90cm long) circular needles to achieve the best results.

**Needle and Gauge Notes:** While the body is worked on a 4.5mm needle for that perfect drape we all love, the intricate lace details are completed on a smaller 4mm needle. Keep in mind that the gauge may vary across different sections of the garment and may change depending on the DK yarns used. As this design is oversized, precise gauge is not crucial, allowing you the creative freedom to use your favorite yarn.

Suggested yarn choices are merely recommendations to inspire you. Feel free to experiment with different DK yarns to achieve the texture and warmth you desire. Enjoy crafting this stunning oversized cardigan that you can wear in any season!
