Our Classic Crewneck Cardigan is an everyday, everywhere chameleon!
- Clever construction gives you the polished fit of set-in sleeves without the fuss. Knit from the bottom up (first body, then sleeves, then both together), the sleeve caps, shoulders, and neckline are shaped with short rows, leaving you with surprisingly easy finishing for such a tailored look.
- Your edges can be tidy ribbing or casual rolled hems, and a button placket that you knit as you go adds just the right touch of polish.
- You can knit your Classic Crewneck Cardigan in any of three sport-weight yarns: Good Wool has a super natural vibe with a springy bounce that adds structure to the sweater’s lines; Season Alpaca drapes luxuriously with unparalleled softness and glowing color; and Cotton Pure knits into a smooth, breathable cardigan that’s easy to toss in the wash. Decide whether to cast on with Andean highland wool, super baby alpaca, or organically grown cotton... And then knit another cardi to see how your choice of fiber determines the feel and wear!
Pick the yarn that’s just right for right now; find the color that makes it unmistakably yours; and cast on your perfect Classic Crewneck Cardigan, tailored by your choices and made by your own hands!
