Pattern Overview
- Skill Level: 3 out of 5 (Intermediate)
- Size Range: XS to 5XL
- Construction: This cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. You will begin by casting on the stitches for the neck and working regular raglan increases flat to shape the yoke and deep V-neckline. The body and sleeves are then split and completed separately. The double-knitted button bands are worked at the very end by picking up stitches along the front edges for a completely professional, structured finish.

Gauge & Suggested Tools
- Gauge: 18 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 4.5 mm needles after washing and blocking.
- Suggested Needles: 4.5 mm circular needles (lengths: 40, 60, and 80 or 100 cm), 3.5 mm circular needles (lengths: 80 or 100 cm), and 3 mm circular needles (length: 60 cm).
- Double-Pointed Needles: 4.5 mm and 3.5 mm DPNs (only required if you choose not to use the Magic Loop technique for the sleeves).
- Notions Required: 4 buttons (approximately 22–24 mm in diameter).
Yarn Requirements
The signature fluffy, soft fabric of this cardigan is achieved by holding one strand of a DK weight yarn together with one strand of a lace-weight silk mohair throughout the entire project.
Always buy complete yarn balls and purchase a little extra to account for swatching or adding any personal adjustments to the body and sleeve lengths.
Crucial Swatching Tip
Do not skip making a gauge swatch, and make sure to wash and block it before taking your measurements. The combination of a structured wool base and airy silk mohair can stretch and relax significantly once washed. Swatching post-wash ensures your stitches settle into the correct 18-stitch gauge so your cardigan finishes with the perfect drape and exact intended proportions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does "double-knitted button bands" mean?
Double knitting creates a dense, dual-layered fabric that looks perfectly neat from both the front and the back. It prevents the button bands of your cardigan from stretching out or sagging over time, giving your handmade garment a high-quality, boutique-standard finish. -
Is there any seaming required for this cardigan?
No, the Champagne Cardigan is completely seamless! The yoke, body, and sleeves are all knit as one continuous piece or picked up directly from the fabric, meaning your only finishing work is sewing on the buttons and weaving in your loose yarn ends. - Can I customize the length of the body and sleeves?
Absolutely. Because the cardigan is knit from the top down, you can slide your live stitches onto scrap yarn at any point to try it on. This allows you to easily adjust the hem and cuffs to match your personal style and frame perfectly.
