Clotilde Cardigan

Our Clotilde Cardigan, sister to the Clotilde Sweater, is a soft, substantial cardigan with an impressive diamond pattern. Knit seamlessly top down on chunky needles in four-thread count, the Clotilde Cardigan is a quick project with a high fun factor. Simple ribbed trim, neck shaping through short rows, and raglan construction complete the cardigan, which has all the design elements of a true favorite in your closet. Because of the loose fit, this jacket is meant to be worn open. However, if you'd rather have a button-up jacket, follow the pattern for two buttonholes, each in the ribbed neck and end cuffs. For extra buttonholes in between, simply push the buttons through the spaces between the stitches. The clotile pattern is given as a counting pattern only.

Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL) Finished measurements (after washing and stretching): Chest circumference: approx. 104 (108, 112, 116, 120, 128) cm
