The Clotilde Cardigan, the sister pattern of our Clotilde Sweater, is a soft and chunky cardigan in a bold diamond lace pattern. Top down and seamless, and worked with large needles and 4 strands together, Clotilde Cardigan is a quick, highly enjoyable knit. Simple ribbed edges, short-row back shaping and raglan construction finish a cardigan that has all the design elements to become a favorite in your wardrobe.
Because of the boxy fit, it’s meant to be worn casually as an open cardigan.
Clotilde Cardigan Lace patterns are charted only.
