Vernal Dogwood Cardigan

Inspired by the delicate beauty of dogwood flowers that brighten the Pacific Northwest each spring, this cable cardigan pairs botanical elegance with modern knitwear design. Flowing cable motifs echo the soft, four-petaled form of dogwood blossoms, creating a fabric that feels both sculptural and light. Designed with versatility in mind, the cardigan is worked from the top down and can be worn open for an effortless, relaxed look or finished with optional buttons for a more classic silhouette. Thoughtful details set this piece apart: the sleeves are worked in reverse stockinette for subtle texture and contrast, then finished at the cuffs with the dogwood flower cable motif—an unexpected and refined alternative to traditional ribbing. Feminine without being fussy and architectural without feeling rigid, this cardigan is a celebration of spring, structure, and slow, intentional making.
