Nordic – A timeless cardigan with a modern twist

Wrap yourself in Nordic heritage with this striking black-and-white cardigan. Nordic combines the clean lines of Scandinavian design with the charm of traditional winter motifs — bold snow crystals and branches, perfectly balanced to feel both classic and fresh.

Knitted in the round for flawless colorwork, Nordic features a steek at the front, so you can enjoy the rhythm of stranded knitting without worrying about purl-side patterning. The result is a beautifully finished garment with a professional look — and a satisfying “ta-da!” moment when you cut it open.

This cardigan is as versatile as it is stylish: pair it with jeans for a cozy weekend look or layer it over a dress for a touch of winter chic.

Skills required: Stranded knitting, steeking (explained in detail in the pattern), basic shaping.

You’ll love it if you:

Adore classic Nordic patterns but want something that feels current

Enjoy the meditative flow of knitting in the round

Are ready to try (or already love) the thrill of steeking

Make your own Nordic and wear a piece of timeless style with a twist.
