Bundle Alert! When you bundle Beckett with an SQ of Spark x Weld on the Hudson + West Co. site, you’ll get a discount off the pattern.

We love a fluffy, soft cardigan and there is nothing more so than a brioche stitch cardigan in Spark x Weld. Beckett mixes two gently contrasting colors of Spark and Weld creating a subtle marl that’s deeply pleasing paired with the puffy brioche stitch.

This slightly cropped cardigan features gentle ballooning at the cuffs, a cozy raglan depth, and a folded button band worked after seaming with reinforced buttonholes.

As this cardigan is worked at a drapey gauge, it’s worked from the bottom up in pieces and seamed after wet blocking for essential fabric stability and longevity.
