A soft, fluid oversized cardigan worked from the top down with raglan shaping, wide ribbed front bands and a gently rounded, longer back. The airy mohair fabric makes it an easy layering piece, while the top-down construction lets you adjust the body and sleeve length as you knit.

Please note: This knitting guide is intended for experienced knitters who are already familiar with a range of knitting techniques and can work independently. It provides guidance on construction, shaping and creating the design, rather than a traditional, detailed step-by-step pattern. It does not teach you how to knit or include tutorials for individual techniques.

SIZE

This pattern is written for an oversized S/M fit. For other sizes, adjust the stitch counts and raglan depth according to your gauge and desired finished measurements. Knit and wash a gauge swatch before starting.

CONSTRUCTION

  • Worked from the top down
  • Raglan increases with additional front shaping
  • Wide ribbed front bands
  • Short-row shaping for a longer, softly rounded back
  • Adjustable body and sleeve length
