Brewster Cardigan

Discover the beauty of our reversible sand cables that elegantly adorn the generous loop cowl, as well as the center of the back and sleeves of this stylish straight cardigan. The draped loop cowl creates a captivating and unique silhouette that enhances any wardrobe. Featuring a faux garter stitch seam, this cardigan adds just the right amount of structure while maintaining a soft, comfortable fit. The versatile loop cowl can be styled in various ways: worn loose for a relaxed look, folded once behind the neck for a chic appeal, or wrapped around the neck multiple times in a graceful ballerina style.

This cardigan measures 96.5 cm and is modeled with 15.5 cm of positive ease, offering both comfort and an attractive fit. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a gift, this pattern is perfect for creating a cherished piece that can be worn on any occasion.

Gauge: To ensure your cardigan turns out perfectly, aim for a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch, which measures 10 cm square.

Notes: The body of this cardigan is worked back and forth in one seamless piece until reaching the armholes. From there, the fronts and back are created separately, allowing for a tailored look. The sleeves are designed to be worked in the round, with the sleeve cap worked in a carefully crafted manner for a perfect finish. The loop cowl is cleverly constructed in two parts featuring three pattern repeats, and it is joined using a 3-needle bind-off at one end and a mattress stitch seam at the other. This ensures secure attachment around the cardigan's opening while leaving extra length to hang loosely for added drama.
