Mono_Boxy Cardigan

The Mono_Boxy Cardigan is a boxy, slightly cropped cardigan with dropped shoulders. Its simple silhouette makes it versatile to pair with dresses, skirts, or trousers. It’s perfect as a lightweight layer for warm summer evenings or for layering on cooler days. The pattern is worked seamlessly from the top down, with a relaxed fit and clean details. Ribbed edges and subtle textures make this a timeless staple for any wardrobe.

It’s best to choose a yarn that meets the gauge and produces a slightly tighter, denser stitch pattern. I advise against using alpaca, as the finished piece shouldn’t be too soft or drapey. (The yardage calculation already includes the gauge swatch.)
