Sylphide Cardigan

Experience the elegance of this beautifully crafted cardigan, where arching lace intricately dances over and around the garment. This playful cardigan features precise tailoring and a high neckline, offering a perfect pas de deux of style and sophistication. With striking Art Deco motifs that pull against each other, this cardigan is sure to be a standout piece in any wardrobe. Turn around, and witness the full chorus of design elements appearing in tight formation, elevating your look to new heights.

Each component of the body is meticulously worked in a different direction: the back is knitted from the bottom up, while each of the fronts is crafted sideways from the front band to the side edge, incorporating short-row shaping for a flattering and neat waistline. The sleeves are also worked from the bottom up to maintain consistency in design. The front armhole has been designed deeper than the back armhole, elegantly wrapping over the top of the shoulder, with seams strategically placed on the back shoulder for an exquisite English-tailored fit.

This knitting pattern is designed for various skill levels, with stitch patterns provided in both written and charted formats, making it accessible for everyone from beginners to advanced knitters. Whether you’re looking for a new project to hone your skills or a stunning piece to show off, this cardigan is the perfect choice.
