Fióna cardigan
Experience the perfect blend of texture and elegance with our Fióna cardigan—a stunning knit design that showcases the beautiful interplay of cable and lace! This cardigan pattern is expertly crafted to be worked from the top down, making it not only stylish but also easy to wear and customize.
The Fióna cardigan features a unique construction method that starts with casting on stitches at the back neck and shoulders. You will then work through raglan shaping, allowing for a comfortable fit while seamlessly separating sleeve stitches from the body. After completing the main body, you’ll progress to the sleeves, finishing with an elegant picked-up stitch collar that adds a polished touch. Notably, the button bands are ingeniously incorporated as you knit the body, eliminating the need for any additional picking up afterward, which streamlines the entire process.
Designed for knitters of all skill levels, the pattern includes clear size separations for easy navigation, along with full charts for Raglan Shaping provided in a separate file. Whether you're looking to expand your knitting repertoire or create a cozy, stylish garment for your wardrobe, the Fióna cardigan is a delightful project.
