This pattern will include a link to enroll for free to a workshop companion for the pattern. In December 2024 join us for a Knit-Through for this cardigan! Yarn kits can be found here.

Quick to knit and cosy to wear, this cardigan will become your ‘go-to’ cardigan when you need that extra layer of warmth.
This cardigan is knit from the top down, seamlessly, with raglan shoulder shaping. The front bands are wide and generous with a short-row shawl collar. Pick from a shorter waist length or a longer belted version.
Optional pockets are included!
