PATTERN INFORMATION
This hand-knit cardigan is a versatile and engaging project perfect for three-season wear. The body and sleeves feature a classic 2x2 ribbed hem and cuffs that transition into a delightful lace pattern mixed with purl ridges and stockinette stitch. The generous 2x2 rib shawl collar adds a cozy finishing touch.

The cardigan is knit in pieces from the bottom up, with shoulders shaped using the Sloped Bind Off method for a polished fit. The sleeves are worked from the cuff up with invisible increases for smooth shaping. Once the pieces are seamed, stitches are picked up to knit the shawl collar, completing the look.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or looking to expand your skills, this cardigan is a rewarding and stylish project that’s sure to become a wardrobe favorite.
