Thyone

Introducing a stunning cardigan pattern that is perfect for transitioning between seasons and serves as a cozy extra layer in winter. This versatile design is ideal for those times when you have just the right amount of yarn—whether you're working with a few skeins or want to incorporate a contrasting color for added flair. The trendy slip stitch stripes add visual interest, creating a beautiful appearance that looks more complex than it actually is—rest assured, you'll never be using more than one color at a time!

This cardigan features a top-down construction with simultaneous set-in sleeves, which lend a polished, tailored look while minimizing the number of stitches to pick up and eliminating the need for short rows. Named after Thyone, one of Jupiter's moons, this delightful piece pays homage to the mortal mother of Dionysus, who eventually became a goddess.

This knitting pattern is worked from the top down, making it easy to customize the length of the body and sleeves to your liking. Once the body and sleeves are complete, you'll simply pick up stitches to create the button band, all in one seamless piece. To assist you in your project, a detailed shaping tracking sheet is included, allowing you to effortlessly keep track of the stitch patterns and increases. Additionally, a helpful diagram is provided for picking up the sleeve stitches, ensuring a seamless finish.

The sample for this cardigan was beautifully crafted using Malabrigo Rastita yarn, but you’ll find a recommended substitute yarn listed below that satisfies the design's requirements. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern offers an enjoyable challenge and a fashionable result that you’ll cherish for seasons to come. Dive into your next knitting project and create a fabulous cardigan that blends comfort with style!
