Bombón Cardigan is a very warm and cozy cardigan with various cables. I wanted to knit a cardigan with ‘lots of different cables but not too much going on’ and I ended up designing one by myself and I was really happy with the result, so I wrote this pattern! It is bottom-up design with German short rows for shoulder shaping.
I made two types of patterns, one is chart and written pattern file which has loads of pages and the other one is chart pattern only file.

I called this “Bombón” because of my favourite coffee, Café Bombón. It’s very sweet coffee with condensed milk and I thought that sweetness goes well with this cardigan :)

There are so many ways that you can jazz up your own Bombón Cardigan by adding buttons instead of a zip, knitting collar shorter… etc.
