Nemo
The long cardigan is a soft and reliable companion that everyone will love to wrap themselves in, finding comfort in its warm embrace through all of life’s storms. The Nemo cardigan is the perfect knitwear for any occasion, whether for everyday wear or special moments.
Its easy textured slip-stitch pattern is delightfully engaging, and thanks to the seamless top-down construction with chunky yarn, the cardigan knits up faster than you might expect.
The pattern includes two different yarn options: the white Nemo jacket is knitted with Halaus yarn, while the grey version is made by combining Isoveli and Tuuli yarns.
This cardigan is worked top down. The top back section is worked flat. The front section stitches are picked up along the back shoulder stitches and the tops of the front sections are worked flat. The sections are joined together to form the body. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the armhole openings and the sleeves are worked in the round from shoulder to cuff. The cardigan is finished off with a double stockinette trim and pocket linings.
Design: Saara Toikka
