The Fjell Soft Cardigan is a seamless top-down cardigan designed for quiet longevity — clean in shape, soft in feel, and made to become a lasting wardrobe staple.

Inspired by Scandinavian minimalism, the design focuses on calm structure, visible outer seam details, and a relaxed silhouette. The intentionally extended shoulder line creates a modern, effortless fit, while patch pockets and clean front bands complete the timeless look.

The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the upper back downwards. Shoulder shaping and neckline are formed through directional increases, creating a smooth, precise construction. Fronts and back are then joined and worked straight to the hem. Sleeves are worked top down directly from the armholes.

The Fjell Soft Cardigan is designed to be worn for years — not just for a season.
