Cardigan Knitting Pattern

A timeless 3-button cardigan that embodies effortless sophistication and lasting comfort. Thoughtfully designed with a refined edge running from the hem to the neckline, it frames the silhouette with structure and understated luxury. The neckline features a soft, leaf-shaped cut, a subtle yet striking detail that enhances a graceful, feminine look.

With its slightly dropped shoulders and perfectly balanced length, the cardigan blends relaxed ease with tailored elegance. Wear it over a dress for an evening out, pair it with a crisp shirt for the office, or layer it casually with a simple tee on quiet weekends.
