The Cadenza Cardigan is a very easy design! It is a perfect choice for your very first cardigan or top down project.

The pattern contains all the needed instructions and videos with techniques.

Why the Cadenza Cardigan? Because I would like this project to be as individual as it can be. In musical language Cadenza is a moment of a musical piece (especially a solo concerto) when the unaccompanied soloist plays virtuosic passages and improvises on theme from that piece. This is what I want to encourage you to do with this project – improvise! That is why I knitted this cardigan with two different yarns to see the result. You can choose your yarn! The thicker the thread is, the warmer cardigan you will get. The thinner, the lighter and perfect for spring and summer. Maybe you want to knit using two different threads of yarn at the same time or add a hoodie?
