Élan is an elegant raglan cardigan knit top down with a beautiful DK weight or doubled fingering weight yarn. This cardigan designed by Yummy Yarn Studio’s Jerrica Coady-Farrell is suitable to be worn either as a layering piece or for cool fall evenings and winter days. This figure-flattering cardigan shines when you use a semi-solid or variegated colourway; and is further accented by the unique edging and finishing details. Yummy Yarn Studio’s Superwash Merino-Cashmere-Nylon is a great choice for this cardigan because the yarn knits to a sturdy but warm drape. Alpaca-Silk-Cashmere dyed to match or compliment the sweater body is a elegant detail for the trim.
This cardigan is knit top down and flat in raglan style, with the edging detail picked up and knit after completing the main body of the cardigan. This cardigan can be worn open, draped over the shoulders, or closed with a button, shawl pin, attractive belt or other fastener.
Both short- and long-sleeved patterns are included.
