The Comeback Cardigan
The Comeback Cardigan is a beautiful return to my first love in knitting: stunning epic cables that add both texture and style to your wardrobe. Perfect for both novice and experienced knitters, this thigh-length cardigan is crafted from the finest aran-weight wool, ensuring it's as warm as it is fashionable.
This versatile cardigan is designed to be worked from the top down, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy seamless construction. It features intricate cable panels that run down the mid back and sleeves, providing a striking visual contrast against the otherwise simple reverse stockinette front. The eye-catching cabled pocket details further enhance the cardigan's appeal, adding a functional yet decorative element.
With waist shaping that allows for a subtle hourglass curve, along with gentle A-line increases, this cardigan offers a comfortable fit around the hips while enhancing your silhouette. The design is completed with elegant ribbed bands that gracefully frame the scooped neck and both fronts, making it a wonderful layering piece for any season.
The pattern is inclusively written with both metric and US terminology, catering to knitters from different regions. To make your knitting experience seamless, both written and charted instructions are provided for all intricate cable patterns, ensuring clarity and ease of understanding.
This size-inclusive cardigan is specifically designed to be worn with approximately 5–10 cm / 2–4" of positive ease, providing comfort without sacrificing style. The model showcased in the images wears size S with 5 cm / 2" of positive ease, allowing you to see how fabulously this cardigan drapes on the body.
For best results, pay attention to the gauge: 15 stitches × 22.5 rows = 10 cm / 4" in reverse stockinette on larger needles, after blocking.
