Vinea Cardigan

Introducing the Vinea Cardigan (Latin for "vine"), a stunning open-front cardigan inspired by a delicate lace pattern reminiscent of flowing vines that gracefully runs along the length of the garment. This beautiful lace motif is intuitive and easy to work, making it suitable for knitters of all skill levels. The decorative ribbing not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also provides structure, framing the intricate lace design beautifully. Perfect for layering during warm weather, this cardigan is ideal for summer-blend yarns such as cotton, linen, bamboo, or other breathable fibers.

One of the standout features of the Vinea Cardigan is its customizable short sleeves, allowing crafters to tailor them to any desired length for maximum comfort and style.

With a bottom-up, drop-shoulder construction and an easy 3-needle bind-off, this cardigan is designed for a quick and enjoyable knitting experience. Utilizing DK or worsted weight yarn, your project will come together swiftly, making it a fulfilling addition to your wardrobe.

The Vinea Cardigan is available in a range of sizes to accommodate various body types, featuring chest circumferences of 36” (38”, 40”, 42”, 44”, 48”, 50”, 54”). This design is intentionally crafted to have 0”-2” of positive ease, providing a relaxed and comfortable fit. The sample size is 38” and is designed to fit a 38” bust perfectly.

In terms of yardage, you’ll need 620 (645, 670, 700, 730, 760, 790, 820) yards of your chosen yarn to complete this lovely garment.

For our sample, we used Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece yarn, which has been naturally dyed with onion skins, enhancing its organic appeal. Whether you are new to knitting or looking for a quick project to enhance your skills, the Vinea Cardigan is sure to become a staple in your warm-weather wardrobe.
