Introducing the Full Spectrum Cardigan, a celebration of color and light! Just as full-spectrum light covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from infrared to near-ultraviolet, this cardigan embraces the full range of the rainbow in its mesmerizing diamond motif. The vibrant colors remind me of a prism, scattering light into a brilliant spectrum that dances across the fabric.

This oversized, drop-shoulder cardigan is designed with simplicity and comfort in mind. Worked bottom-up in one seamless piece, you’ll only need to seam the shoulders and set in the sleeves—no side seams here! The sleeves are worked in the round, making this an ideal project for anyone who shares my aversion to seams. The set-in pockets add both functionality and durability, perfect for holding your phone or other essentials securely.

Available in sizes ranging from S to 4XL, the Full Spectrum Cardigan is size-inclusive and versatile, easily customized to be hip-length, cropped, or longer to suit your style. Crocheted in DK weight yarn, this cardigan will look stunning in a variety of colors or even in a single shade. Whether you choose to create your own spectrum or keep it monochrome, this cardigan is sure to be a staple in your wardrobe.
