Diamond Placket Cardigan Pattern

DEGEN Verified independent store

→

The cardigan is worked from the bottom up and features intarsia colorwork on the placket. The fronts and back are knit in one piece with a shoulder seam that sits slightly forward on the shoulder. The plackets and the neckline are knit on. All DEGEN sweaters are designed to allow for the maker to adapt for their body- so feel free to add length to the sleeve // body. The pattern lets you know where the best spots to add or remove length are. Fit notes: The cardigan is intended to have a standard fit. It is not oversized or fitted. The shoulder seam should sit forward on the shoulder. This garment is intended to have about 2” // 5cm of positive ease at the chest. Please see the fit chart. If adding length is desired, I recommend adding increments of 3” // 7.5cm so that you are adding full diamonds at the placket. Adding diamonds will require extra buttons.
