This versatile, loose-fitting, boxy cardigan is the perfect piece to effortlessly layer over any outfit. Crafted from the lightweight Shibui Twig yarn, it offers just the right amount of drape and comfort, making it an essential addition to your wardrobe.

The cardigan is expertly worked in one continuous piece on the bias, starting from the top down and featuring a charming garter stitch stripe pattern. This innovative construction mimics the feel of a shawl, which means you can enjoy the flowy silhouette. Once you add the sleeve trims and seam the sides, it magically transforms into a cozy cardigan that is both stylish and functional!

If you’re considering a yarn substitution for this project, keep in mind that working on the bias can result in a fabric that stretches differently—either more or less in length and width. However, the finished design boasts a generous boxy fit that flatters a variety of body shapes and can be tailored to different lengths, ensuring that you get a perfect fit for your style. The pattern also includes detailed instructions for adjusting the length to your preference.

This cardigan is designed to be worn with an intentional 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) of positive ease, providing a relaxed and contemporary look that’s perfect for any occasion. Transform your knitting experience by diving into this charming cardigan pattern that is both simple to create and endlessly versatile.
