Atelier Cardigan

> ✨ For the whole month of June, > celebrate Pride Month with 20% off all > my patterns (including Les Garçons) > with coupon code PRIDE2026! ✨ Meet your new favourite sweater: the ultra-cosy *Atelier Cardigan*. While its aran-weight gauge knits up incredibly fast, the use of a lofty chainette yarn, like [Isager’s Alpaca 3][1], keeps the oversized silhouette surprisingly lightweight. This top-down garment is a quick, satisfying project, and once it is off your needles, you will never want to take it off. [Looking for yarn inspiration?
