Fog. Textured Cardigan Pattern.
Happy Monday, friends! Today I am happy to announce the release of my Fog cardigan pattern that's been in the making for so many months. Sometimes simplicity takes more time to put into life than more elaborate patterns. I just really wanted to get this cardigan right - my goal was to make something that "flows" on your needles. I wanted simple stitches, straightforward construction and texture details.
I always loved the effect of slip stitches against the reverse stockinette stitch fabric, so I played around with their different placement, visually breaking down the fabric into pieces. The abrupt transition from the reverse stockinette to the ribbing creates the extra volume between the sleeve itself and its cuff. I used the natural tendency of the stockinette stitch fabric to curl in, leaving the edges of the front bands trimmed with a simple i-cord edge that is worked simultaneously along with the body. This created the extra volume and contrast between purl and knit sides.I can't wait for you to see the pieces created by my amazing test knitters - all of them are so beautiful!
I hope you will be inspired to have Fog on your needles this Fall!
General Pattern Information
CONSTRUCTIONFog Cardigan is a top-down seamless cardigan with the neckband knit simultaneously with the main body of the garment. The yoke is shaped as a compound raglan, which creates a natural line that runs from the neck to the base of the armhole. Yoke instructions are written step-by-step for each size individually. Stitches for the sleeves are placed on hold at the end of the yoke, then the main body is continued to the hem. The main body is “framed” with i-cord that is knit simultaneously with the main body and then meets with the i-cord bind off at the hem. Then sleeve stitched are picked up and worked top down in the round.DESIGN DETAILSTextureThe texture is created with the help of simple slipped stitches and the contrast between knit and purl stitches.SleevesSleeves are knit in the round top down, finishing with the high 1x1 rib cuff.NeckbandThe neckband is worked simultaneously with the body, reverse stockinette fabric naturally curves, creating the contrast between purl and knit sides.SizingThe sweater is graded for 9 sizes with approximately 11-14″ of ease.
