Cardigan with a soft drape and flowing silhouette
This elegant, flowing cardigan is knitted with two strands of Tynn Silk Mohair yarn from Sandnes. With its soft, airy drape and beautiful A-line shape, this cardigan is a highlight in any wardrobe. The jacket is worked seamlessly in one piece, starting from the back. At the neckline, the piece is divided, and both front panels are knitted downward, giving the jacket a highly structured yet versatile look. The ¾ sleeves are knitted directly from the body and can be extended if needed.
The swinging silhouette is enhanced by subtle back pleats, which create a beautiful, flowing A-line shape (see images for details). The pattern is written for sizes US 6-16 (EU 36-46) but can easily be adjusted to larger sizes by adding more stitches.
