Loosely based on the Tolkein character, this cardigan is a mix of delicate and strong. Knit from the top down, the A-line shape and fitted waist are a simple foil to the more complex raglan-shaped cabled top.

I have tentatively added sizes M, L, and XL, but these have not been test knit, only size S has, and are just my (hopefully correct!) calculations. I’m dealing with a chronic health condition right now unfortunately and so do not foresee testing these numbers any time soon, but hope they don’t lead anyone astray.

For any brave fellow knitter out there who makes this, I hope your own Arwen cardigan makes you feel confident and joyful, while seeing you through the day, whatever it may bring. Happy knitting!
