Aurum Cardigan is a bottom-up, steeked cardigan featuring beautiful Fair Isle colorwork. Worked in the round with a charted pattern, it combines traditional stranded knitting with a modern, slightly oversized and cropped fit.
The cardigan features 2×2 corrugated ribbing, shaped shoulders using German short rows, and a comfortable neckline. The front opening is created using the steeking technique, with crocheted reinforcement and knitted button bands.
Designed to be both fun and rewarding to knit, Aurum Cardigan is a great project for knitters who would like to try steeking or enjoy working with stranded colorwork.
Juniper Organic Merino is a great budget-friendly yarn choice for this pattern. It works beautifully and comes in a wide range of colors, making it easy to mix and match shades to create your own color combinations. The most important thing is choosing the right yarn weight and making sure there is enough contrast between the colors. Beyond that, the color choices are entirely up to you!
