Zigzag Moderne Cardigan

Introducing a stunning two-tone cardigan that combines style and functionality, perfect for any knitting enthusiast looking to elevate their wardrobe. This cardigan features a unique design where the colour wrap elegantly transitions from the back to the left front, creating a dramatic yet tasteful effect that is sure to turn heads. With a beautifully executed zigzag front that is achieved through shaping rather than charting, this piece serves as a perfect and satisfying introduction to intarsia colourwork, making it an ideal project for knitters of varying skill levels.

Choose between a cropped or full-length version to perfectly match your personal style and preferences. This cardigan is worked bottom up and constructed in separate pieces with set-in sleeves, ensuring a tailored fit that accentuates your silhouette. The seamed construction not only enhances the overall durability but also guarantees that this wardrobe staple will stand the test of time and remain a beloved piece in your collection for years to come.

Our size-inclusive pattern caters to a finished chest measurement of up to 70" (178 cm), designed to be worn with approximately 4-5 inches (10-12.5 cm) of positive ease for optimal comfort. The sample is crafted in a full-length style measuring 38 ¼“ (97 cm), while our model showcases a 34” (86.5 cm) bust to illustrate the versatile fit of this cardigan.

This comprehensive knitting pattern includes clear written directions, both charted and written instructions for a simple intarsia pattern, front and back images for easy reference, and a detailed schematic complete with measurements to guide you through the project. Embrace your knitting journey and create a timeless piece that you will love to wear!
