Lightweight and relaxed, the Martha Cardigan makes the perfect go-to spring sweater. A classic straight shape and cropped length makes layering over blouses, T-shirts and dresses easy and stylish while a touch of patterning at the hem (including some whimsical bobbles!) makes her a dream to knit.

This cardigan is a very easy knit; it is a seamless, top-down raglan that can be tried on for fit at any time. It is the perfect “first-time” sweater project!

The Martha Cardigan can be knit in just about any DK weight yarn, although a woolen spun choice - like the Jamieson & Smith Shetland yarns or Diamond Highland - give this sweater its airy quality.
