Unity

Introducing the Unity Cardigan, a wonderfully cozy open-front cardigan designed to keep you snug during the colder seasons. This knit pattern is crafted from the top down, beginning with a stylish shawl collar that is seamlessly integrated with the body—no need to worry about picking up stitches later! The gentle raglan increases create a flattering shape for the yoke, expertly guiding you through the process before you separate the sleeves and the body.

Once the body is complete, the sleeves are picked up and knitted to a comfortable 3/4 length, making this cardigan perfect for layering. One of the standout features of the Unity Cardigan is the cleverly integrated pockets, which are set in while you knit the body. This means you'll only need to pick them up at the end to complete the pocket linings, ensuring a smooth and efficient knitting experience.

The shawl collar, cuffs, hem, and pockets all showcase an easy-to-memorize zig-zag stitch pattern, adding a charming texture that beautifully contrasts with the stockinette fabric of the main body. This makes it not only functional but also visually appealing, adding an elegant touch to your winter wardrobe.

For the perfect fit, the Unity Cardigan is recommended to be worn with approximately 44 cm / 17” of positive ease at the bust, allowing for comfortable movement and layering during chilly days. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern offers an enjoyable and rewarding knitting experience, combining practicality with style. Elevate your knitwear collection with the cozy and chic Unity Cardigan!
