Tremont Hooded Cardigan

Discover the unique charm of our raglan cardigan, featuring captivating plaited cables that add a touch of elegance and intrigue. This beautifully designed cardigan edges the fronts and gracefully runs up the sleeves, culminating in a thoughtfully shaped hood. Not only does the front showcase these stunning cables, but the reverse side is equally appealing, providing a lovely detail when the hood is worn down, highlighting the transition from the cardigan's fronts to the hood.

Important Notes:

This raglan cardigan pattern is expertly constructed with the body worked flat, allowing for comfortable wear without any waist shaping. The sleeves are crafted in the round, beginning at the bottom and working up to the armholes for a seamless appearance. Once the body and sleeves are joined, the yoke is knitted flat, incorporating seamless raglan shaping for a tailored fit. The top of the hood is shaped with careful decreases and employs a technique similar to creating a seamless saddle shoulder, where stitches from both sides of the hood are expertly woven together with the stitches at each end of the center hood rows. For a polished finish, the top of the hood is joined using a 3-Needle Bind-Off, while the underarms can be either grafted or joined together with the same 3-Needle Bind-Off method.

To help you navigate the intricate cable designs, we provide clear instructions in an easy-to-follow chart format, making it simple for knitters of all skill levels to create stunning results.

Button Options (Optional): Instead of adding traditional buttonholes in the cabled bands, consider using the holes created by the cable crosses as functional and decorative buttonholes for a stylish twist.

This raglan cardigan not only serves as a functional addition to your wardrobe but also as a delightful project for those looking to enhance their knitting skills. Enjoy the blend of comfort and style as you create this unique piece, perfect for layering in any season!
