Amira Cardigan

NOTES ABOUT DESIGN The Amira Cardigan features a relaxed drop shoulder construction, with a positive ease of about 32 cm around bust circumference. The back and front panels are worked separately and then joined at the shoulders. The sleeves are worked from the top down, starting at the armholes. To assemble the sweater, sew the side edges from the sleeve cuffs down to the bottom hem. Finish by adding a stretchy border to the cuffs, bottom hem, and collar. The use of thinner yarn with a larger crochet hook makes the Amira Cardigan incredibly light, while the seams provide structure and stability. The stitch pattern is simple yet elegant, offering a slightly lacy appearance that adds both breathability and style. While the sample uses a blend of mohair, wool, and acrylic, which pairs beautifully with the larger hook size and stitch pattern, you can experiment with different yarns or hook sizes to achieve a fabric that feels comfortable and pleasing to you. The pattern includes instructions on how to adjust for a different gauge, positive ease, allowing for customization to suit your preferences.
