About the Design

The Aria Cardigan is a top-down crochet cardigan featuring a round yoke construction and a beautifully textured cable stitch pattern that flows seamlessly throughout the entire garment.

The design includes an anatomical neckline, shaped with short rows that blend naturally into the stitch pattern for a clean and refined finish. The relaxed fit creates a flattering silhouette that follows the body without feeling restrictive.

Timeless and versatile, the Aria Cardigan can be styled casually for everyday wear or dressed up for the office and special occasions.

Tension / Gauge

Using a 4 mm crochet hook in the cable stitch pattern, measured before blocking:

3 pattern repeats (1 cable + 3 dc) = 9 cm / 3.5”

8 rows = 10 cm / 4”

Important:

When counting rows, count only the double crochet (cable) rows, which are the right-side rows.

Each “row” in the pattern refers to one right-side (cable) row plus the following wrong-side (single crochet) row.

Skill Level

Intermediate
The pattern includes detailed instructions, but familiarity with cables and garment construction is recommended.
