The Sophisticable Cardigan brings together timeless elegance and relaxed comfort. Featuring a dropped shoulder silhouette and an all-over decorative cable pattern, it feels both classic and contemporary—perfect for dressing up or layering casually. The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down, allowing you to easily customize the body and sleeve lengths to suit your style. The cable texture adds richness and depth to the fabric, without feeling heavy or overwhelming, making it a piece you’ll want to reach for season after season.
The cardigan is worked flat beginning with the Upper Back while also shaping the shoulders. Stitches are picked up for the Upper Front separately, then all stitches are worked flat through the body. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and worked in the round. Lastly stitches are picked up along the front edges for the double knitted button band.

The Picnic Cardigan is a light and versatile piece that can be layered over various outfits, making it a both chic and fun addition to any wardrobe. It features an open round neckline and delicate tie bands which add a playful and feminine twist to the design. I envisioned a cardigan that would add a touch of whimsy to my outfit that would be comfortable and easy to style with both a Summer dress or plain jeans & t-shirt combo.
The Picnic Cardigan has a regular fit with long sleeves and twisted rib details around the hem and cuffs. The cardigan is worked flat from top down, and features German Short Row shaping for the sleeves. The fronts are finished with double knitted edges and the collar is worked as a tunnel for the drawstring I-cord. The I-cord tie bands are knitted last separately and attached to the cardigan.

The Daydreamer Cardigan is worked in a sumptuous Half Fisherman’s rib stitch which makes this a luxurious and lightweight piece that you’ll want to wear on repeat. The squishy fabric is both fun and quick to knit. I knitted my first sample in just a week! The slightly balloon shaped sleeves together with the elegant raglan yoke shaping makes this a true classic in any wardrobe.
The cardigan is worked top down seamlessly. First the yoke is worked flat while shaping the neckline and raglan increases for the body and sleeves. The lower body is worked flat while leaving the stitches for the sleeves on hold, and then the sleeves are worked in the round. Stitches are picked up from both front edges separately and worked in double knitting. Lastly stitches are picked up around the neckline for the double folded collar.

Introducing your new best friend for a cold day – the Lazy Cat cardigan! This cosy piece is worked in a blown alpaca yarn, which makes it incredibly light while keeping you warm. It reminds me of a cat that knows a thing or two about living the good life – they are chill masters and no strangers to naps in the middle of the day. May this cardigan be your friend on days when all you want to do is snuggle up on the sofa.
The cardigan is worked bottom up in half fisherman's rib on 6 mm (US10) needles. At the armholes, the front and back pieces are worked separately back and forth. Then the shoulder seams are sewn together, and stitches are picked up for the sleeves. For the finishing touches, you pick up stitches along the front edges and around the collar for a 1x1 rib, and finally attach press buttons as the purrfect fastening.

The Cinnamon Twist Cardigan is knitted flat (back and forth) with 6mm (US10) needles and 3 mm (US3) for the collar rib and 4 mm (US6) needles for the rib hem, cuffs and front edges. All the pieces are joined together by hand sewing, and then stitches are picked up along the front edges and around the neckline for the collar.
The back piece is a real showstopper with a decorative cable pattern and two simple twisted cables on each side. The simple twisted cables repeat on both front pieces and sleeves, too.
The cardigan is knitted with one strand of Silk Mohair or Brushed Alpaca Silk yarn, together with a strand of blown Alpaca mix yarn to give the piece it's beautiful texture.

The Honey cardigan is knitted flat in a gorgeous half fisherman’s rib stitch pattern in a brushed alpaca yarn. It has a boxy and cropped fit, which works wonderfully with a dress or a pair of high-waisted jeans. The cardigan has a dropped shoulder and long sleeves to give it a modern feel. This is a good one to take on the road, since every piece is knitted separately flat, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge project around with you.
All the pieces are knitted back and forth on 5 mm (US8) needles and sewn together at the end. Then stitches are picked up and rib edges are worked along the front pieces and the neck edge. The cardigan is finished off with custom crochet buttons, which make this cardigan, well, cute as a button!
