Chain Cable Cardigan

Embrace a retro and dramatic flair with this stunning knitted cardi, perfectly designed to pair with your chunkiest jewellery for a statement look! This intermediate knitting pattern features a delightful combination of cabling, knitting in the round, and short rows, making it a fantastic choice for those looking to enhance their knitting skills.

This vintage-style, cropped chunky cardi is a nostalgic tribute to timeless fashion, crafted using yarn sourced directly from my personal stash. It showcases the classic cabling technique featured in my well-loved copy of the Reader’s Digest Guide to Needlework from the 1970s, expertly blending tradition with modern style. To add a special touch, this project incorporates beautiful buttons handed down through generations from my Nana and Great Grandmother, giving it a unique family heritage.

This cardi is knitted by holding two strands of DK yarn together, which not only creates a cozy and warm garment but also provides the perfect opportunity for mixing and matching your favorite colors to add a personal touch. Alternatively, you can opt to use a single strand of chunky yarn for a quicker knit. Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to take your skills to the next level, this project promises to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
